Online Meditation Retreat for 18 – 32 year old Young Adults

Welcome!

We’re thrilled to offer this meditation retreat with Rebecca Bradshaw, Devin Berry, and Chas DiCapua, starting on Wednesday, July 28, at 7 pm ET.

During this retreat dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of young adults in this difficult time, we will co-create a refuge from all forms of oppression, a nourishing refuge of rest and rejuvenation. The online format will consist of three live sessions a day and small group discussion with the teachers. Optional additional sittings and affinity groups will also be offered. Optional mindful movement will be offered by Sabra Saperstein.

This page includes the retreat schedule with links to the Zoom sessions. Links to recommended home retreat guidelines, Zoom information, and information about online retreat etiquette are located in the Retreat Resources section below. Resources provided by the teachers, if any, will also be posted there.

Closed captioning is available for all Zoom sessions. Please feel free to email us at imsonline@dharma.org if this feature would be supportive.

If you haven’t done so already, please register for this retreat here. If you have questions, please email us at imsonline@dharma.org.

Teacher Support

Most IMS teachers—like insight teachers around the world—offer their teachings freely, and rely on the generosity of students for their livelihood. Teachers do not generally receive compensation from IMS program fees, though IMS may offer a modest advance to ensure financial support and the continuation of the teachings. Click here to learn more about teacher support. There will be an opportunity to offer a contribution to your teachers at the end of your program, or you may donate now
