Description:
Please join us in community for this Insight Meditation (vipassanā) half-day retreat. Together, we will share practices that quiet the mind and open the heart. By cultivating a calm mind and a kind heart toward ourselves and others, we learn how to live with loving awareness. With this spirit, we develop a wise and more easeful relationship with life, and we can lovingly care for ourselves and the world.

Instructions will be given for both sitting and walking meditation. Heartfelt teachings will be provided along with guided practices. We will also have time for questions and discussion. This retreat is suitable for new practitioners and experienced meditators looking to refresh and renew their practice.

Online Only: We are offering this program online via Zoom.

Sliding Scale: Our sliding scale options for this program include financial support for our teachers. Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford: your generosity supports the teachers as well as Spirit Rock and your fellow practitioners who need to pay less.
