Will Kabat-Zinn's Upcoming Programs
Retreat | On-Land
October 6 - October 15, 2025 | Monday - Wednesday | 9 nights
Concentration and Insight Meditation
Registration Opens - June 10. Concentration and insight are like two wings of a bird, each is essential for traversing the path of practice and liberation. Without a concentrated mind, it’s hard to see deeply into the nature of things, to arrive at roots rather than flitting around in the branches. Without turning this concentrated mind to clearly observing the nature of our body and heart/mind, we do not touch the wisdom that transforms how we live, love, and relate to all of life.
