Calming the Mind with Annie Nugent & Winnie Nazarko

Welcome!

We’re excited to offer this online retreat with Annie Nugent and Winnie Nazarko for students with some meditation experience, beginning Wednesday, April 7, at 10 am ET.

During this time of discord and instability, this retreat will help us re-group, steady ourselves, and connect with our hearts. We will invite equanimity by practicing insight meditation with a metta flavor, opening to a balance of clarity and kindness. Participants are expected to have completed at least two previous residential meditation retreats of seven days or longer.

This page includes the retreat schedule and Zoom information. If you haven’t done so already, please register for this retreat here. If you have questions, please email us at imsonline@dharma.org.

Retreat Dana (generosity)

Most IMS teachers—like insight teachers around the world—rely on the generosity of students for their livelihood, and receive no compensation from course fees. All IMS online teachers receive a modest dana advance from IMS to guarantee a minimum level of financial support. (Click here to learn more about the dana practice.)
