Insight Meditation Retreat

Join us for an Insight Meditation retreat that will provide the opportunity to delve deeply into noble silence and stillness, movement and inquiry. Step away from daily activities to reveal what your heart and mind will delight in remembering – their inherent goodness and clarity.

With the foundations of mindfulness meditation and kind awareness, we’ll explore how the seeds of insight blossom into wisdom and compassion.

Progressive steps in meditation instruction will be offered each day along with time for Q&A. Students will have the opportunity to meet with teachers in individual and small group practice discussions.

Daily Chi Kung and somatic practices will bring additional portals of understanding about the mind, body and heart as well as added benefit and energy to the retreat.

Dorms $525; Double Room $655; Single Room $815
