Insight Retreat Center

February 6 to 13, 2025  –  Hours: Thursday check-in is from 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm  End time: Thursday 12:00 pm

This silent vipassana retreat offers a 3-night residential weekend at the Holy Spirit Retreat Center in Encino, CA, followed by 4 non-residential weekdays of practice at home. The retreat will emphasize continuity of practice from the cushion to daily life.

The 3-night long weekend at the retreat center will allow retreatants to settle into awareness of body, feelings and mind through sitting and walking. The 4 days of home retreat via Zoom sessions that follow will offer encouragement to continue the practice of awareness in daily life at home and work. This will be supported by a group sitting in the early morning, a group check-in and dharma talk in the evening, as well as sittings and walking periods available throughout the day. This structure will allow those who have work and caregiving obligations to attend early morning and evening only, with the option to fit in extra sittings during the day as one’s schedule allows.
