A Hybrid via Zoom of a live silent mindfulness retreat with Gil Fronsdal, with alternating sitting and walking meditation, instruction, and dharma talks. Online Practice Discussions are with Diana Clark, the Online Teacher.
This “hybrid” retreat is a “two-track” retreat: Gil will teach in person to the Residential participants at the Insight Retreat Center and simultaneously via Zoom, to the Online participants. 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 Diana Clark, as the Online Teacher.
There will also be spaces available for Online Auditors, (those that would like to audit online without teacher support).
