Welcome!
During this meditation retreat we will practice a moment-to-moment mindfulness that embraces body, heart and mind with kindness and wisdom. By cultivating a gentle, warm-hearted approach to whatever arises in formal practice or daily life practice, we can discover that kindness is an aspect of mindfulness. This retreat will be taught by Madeline Klyne, Chas DiCapua, and Matthew Hepburn, and begins on Friday, March 12, at 7 pm EST. Éowyn Ahlstrom will offer mindful movement.
This retreat is open to both beginning and experienced meditators, and will offer practice groups with the teachers.
This page includes the retreat schedule and Zoom information. Retreat resources provided by the teachers, if any, will also be posted on this page.

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.)
