Self Retreat

A self retreat is an opportunity for personal practice, and is available at the Retreat Center between scheduled courses, provided that you have already participated in at least one of our retreats and are familiar with the IMS practice environment.

During a self retreat, you are expected to meditate in silence, observe the Five Precepts and maintain a continuity of practice. The IMS Resident Teacher is available for support throughout your stay.

Our sliding scale fee is $55-$98 per day, depending on your means. Your length of stay may not exceed the longest period of teacher-led retreat that you have participated in at the Retreat Center.

For self retreats of up to six days immediately before or after a specific group course, you can simply include the dates when you register. For self retreats of longer than six days, please call our office for an application form.
