People of Color Retreat - POCJune 14 - 20, 2010
Retreat is Closed | |
This insight meditation course, co-sponsored by IMS and New York Insight, creates a space of ease and support for people of color to meditate together and cultivate inner freedom. It provides an in-depth experience of the Buddha’s teachings on mindful awareness, illuminating a path toward healing and greater happiness. Those without previous meditation experience are encouraged to participate.
Our wish is to make this retreat accessible to anyone who would like to attend. We offer a ‘You Choose’ fee option, charging a minimum of just $10 per day. Those who can contribute more, however, help ensure that the community of POC meditators continues to flourish. Free bus transportation is provided on a first-come, first-served basis between New York City and IMS.
This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
This retreat is supported in part by a grant from the Frederick P. Lenz Foundation For American Buddhism. | |
