Women in Meditation: Insight Meditation Retreat - WOM

March 19 - 26, 2010


Retreat is Closed
In the classical context of silence and sustained insight meditation practice, women have gathered together on this annual retreat for more than 25 years, creating a powerful sense of community that supports our capacity for deepening wisdom and compassion. There are daily talks, instructions, guided lovingkindness practice and meetings with the teachers.

This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
