EBIPOC Retreat Experience

We invite Black, Indigenous and all People of Color (BIPOC) who have been undertaking study and practice for at least three years and have sat three or more 5-7 day retreats to join us for this retreat. At least two of these retreats must be residential; one can have been online. Please list your experience here:

Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Affiliation

As part of IMS's commitment to diversity and equity, we have an intention to increase the participation of black, indigenous, and people of color in our retreats. To help bring this to fruition, we are holding a portion of all Retreat Center course spaces for black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). This also applies to any retreat where a lottery will be conducted.
For courses that are seven days or less, unused BIPOC slots will be released two months prior to the start date. For retreats longer than seven days, unused BIPOC slots will be released four months prior to the start date.
So we can support your participation in the retreat of your choice, please make us aware if you self-identify as a person of color.
