Description:

The emphasis during this retreat will be on the continuity of awareness in all activities, which stabilizes and balances the mind. Relaxed acceptance of our moment-to-moment experience will become the platform for investigation and wisdom. Particular attention will be paid to the attitudes in the mind that condition our understanding. This retreat is suitable for both beginner and experienced meditators, and we welcome people from all life experiences, backgrounds, and communities.

Previously known as the July Insight Retreat

Details for Auditing the Retreat:
The audit option for this retreat offers online access to the teacher-led meditation instructions and Dharma talks broadcasted live from Spirit Rock’s Upper Meditation Hall. Recordings of each teacher-led session will be posted within 24 hours after a session ends. All video recordings will be available for you to play and replay for 90 days after the retreat ends.

Important note regarding auditing this retreat, it is held only online (broadcast only) and it does not offer interactions with the teachers (i.e., no practice meetings, no ability to ask questions during Q&A sessions, etc.), nor does it offer online small groups or affinity groups.

Included:

  • Live video broadcast from the meditation hall of all Dharma talks, meditations, and other instructions
  • Retreat homepage – includes retreat schedule, access to recordings, other resources
  • Recordings of all Dharma talks and meditations, audio only

Sliding Scale: Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford: your generosity supports Spirit Rock and your fellow practitioners who need to pay less. At the end of the retreat, there will be an opportunity to offer dana to the teachers and to Spirit Rock.
