What the Buddha Taught: Insight Meditation for Resilience and Peace
A Few Spaces Still Available! The Buddha taught a path of liberation that continues to bring resilience, insight, and peace to practitioners today. Our practice of retreat brings the teachings alive, as we cultivate mindfulness, lovingkindness, and investigation of the causes of suffering throughout all the activities of the day, learning to meet everything that arises with wakefulness and intimacy. This retreat is great for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners looking for a refresh on the foundations of Insight practice.
