A Hybrid via Zoom of a live silent mindfulness retreat with Gil Fronsdal and Andrea Castillo, with alternating sitting and walking meditation, instruction, and dharma talks. Online Practice Discussions are with Mei Elliott, the Online Teacher.
This “hybrid” retreat is a “two-track” retreat: Gil and Andrea will teach in person to the Residential participants at the Insight Retreat Center and simultaneously via Zoom, to the Online participants. Suitable for experienced practitioners and beginners familiar with basic insight meditation instruction and have practiced regularly for at least four months. We encourage practitioners to participate fully, understanding that sometimes exceptions may be necessary due to one’s home circumstances.
Online Retreatants will have Practice Discussions and Drop-in Groups with Mei Elliott, as the Online Teacher.
There will also be some spaces available for Online Auditors, (those that would like to audit online without teacher support).
