June 30 - July 04, 2013 (Sunday to Thursday)


This retreat is full with a short waitlist. To be added to the list, submit a registration, waiver and deposit.

This retreat is specifically for teens, aged 14-19. It offers beginning meditation instruction, half-hour sitting and walking periods, facilitated discussion groups, meditative arts and free time. This allows young adults to develop and value their natural spirituality within a supportive environment. Extensive supervision is provided.

Please note that we must receive a waiver signed by a parent or guardian before we can confirm you into this retreat! You can print or download the waiver when you fill out the registration form. We will notify you of your status as soon as we've received the waiver.

An optional daily period of mindful yoga will be offered by Tasha Judson.

A Message from IMS's Guiding Teachers

Inevitably, there'll be some noise as IMS's project to renovate the Catskills is underway. (Its completion is currently scheduled for late August 2013.) The work, however, will take place primarily indoors during regular construction hours, usually Monday - Friday, 7:00am-4:00pm.

In the Retreat Center meditation hall, the impact of any renovation noise is further reduced by an air circulation and conditioning system that allows fresh air to move around without opening the windows.

The teachers at IMS decided to continue offering retreats throughout this building period, knowing that conditions for practice are rarely perfect. We trust that these particular conditions can be met with the equanimity and grace with which we meet a range of conditions in our lives

All of us at IMS look forward to supporting you on retreat.
