Exploring deeply the Buddhist teachings of mindfulness infused with lovingkindness, this silent meditation retreat, open to all, will cultivate our connection to ourselves and to life itself through body-centered awareness. Developing intimacy with our physical, energetic, and emotional bodies, we will touch essential truths about life and gain the stability of heart that helps us move through this world with greater wisdom and compassion.

The course will be supported by daily insight and lovingkindness meditation instructions, talks about the teachings, and meetings with the teachers. Optional mindful movement based on qigong will be offered by teacher Greg Scharf. There will also be the opportunity to practice walking meditation outside on IMS's beautiful grounds.

At the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA. With Greg Scharf and Roxanne Dault. More info at Sign up for Retreats
