Welcome!
We’re excited to offer this meditation retreat with Greg Scharf, Carol Wilson, Tara Mulay, and Devin Berry, beginning on Wednesday, February 10, at 2:30 pm EST.
Meditation can be seen as the process of learning to recognize and trust a natural quality of awareness that is available to all of us in any moment, no matter what is happening in our experience. During five days of exploration and practice open to both beginners and experienced practitioners, the teachers will offer meditation instruction, dharma talks, and time for questions and practice discussion.
This page includes the retreat schedule and Zoom information. Retreat resources provided by the teachers, if any, will also be posted on this page.
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.)
