Welcome!
We’re thrilled to offer this relational weekend retreat with Gregory Kramer, beginning on Friday, June 25, at 7 pm ET. Gregory will be assisted by Peace Twesigye.
During this retreat we will explore how we separate, contributing to suffering for ourselves and others, how we are interrelated, contributing to increased compassion and peace for ourselves and others, and how balanced effort can support us on this whole-life path. The weekend will feature relational meditation through Insight Dialogue practice to contemplate how we might meet each moment as embodied beings in relationship to a whole.

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.
