I’ll be leading a 5-day meditation retreat which will include silent sitting and walking periods with instructions and practice meetings with teachers. The theme will focus on cultivating wholesome states in our meditation practice. This retreat is appropriate for both experienced as well as new/beginning students.

Our Vision: The Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley promotes Buddhist teachings and meditation practices primarily from the Theravadan tradition.
We do this in a spirit of community with members helping each other to develop and embody the qualities of clarity and kindness that are central to the teachings.
