Meeting format (During program sessions, you will be able to see and hear the teacher, as well as other program participants, and they will be able to see and hear you)
The teachers will offer guidance in vipassana (insight) meditation within a framework of goodwill and compassion for self, others, and whatever arises in our lives. By fusing wisdom and compassion in this way, we become reliably kind and skillful in both our practice and daily life.
Participants will receive instructions for both seated and walking insight meditation, as well as for metta (goodwill) practice. Practice meetings to explore retreatants’ questions will be available. Additionally, sessions of mindful movement will be offered by Malaika Tabors, supporting physical ease as we practice.
This retreat is open to both beginners and those who have well established practices of many years.
Registration for this program closes 30 minutes prior to the opening session.
