Foundations of Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Online Insight Meditation Retreat
This program is now closed to new registrations.
Open to all who are familiar with formal meditation practice.
As we welcome the new year, join the growing IMS Online community as we extend and deepen our personal experience of insight meditation, rooted in the cultivation of mindfulness. In the company of peers and experienced teachers, retreatants will explore the Four Applications of Mindfulness as taught in the early Buddhist Satipaṭṭhāna Teachings—the foundational teachings of all contemporary mindfulness-based applications.
These teachings offer a path to well-being, freedom, and compassion, and encourage the integration of contemplative wisdom into the fabric of our daily lives.
Each day will offer a sustained schedule of guided and unguided meditation practice, meetings with the teachers, and talks and reflections, all within an environment of silence.
Retreat begins Monday, January 10, at 10:00am ET. Retreat concludes Friday, January 14, at 5:00pm ET. A full home retreat schedule and instructions will be offered. The live session schedule with the teachers is as follows:
