Insight Meditation, known as vipassana meditation, is the 2,600 year-old practice of cultivating wise presence by bringing caring, curious, and discerning attention to what is happening moment-to-moment. Combined with our biological impulses to go after what we want and avoiding what we don’t want, we are often acting from habit and reactivity instead of our deeper held values and beliefs. With mindful presence, we cut through habitual reactivity and access innate states of well-being, creativity, and liberating insight through personal and universal understanding.
This two day non-residential retreat will include guided sitting meditations, walking meditation, compassion practice, dharma talks, and opportunities for question and answers.
Please bring journals.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available.
