A Hybrid via Zoom of a live silent mindfulness retreat with Gil Fronsdal and Ines Freedman, with alternating sitting and walking meditation, instruction, and dharma talks. Online Practice Discussions are with Ines Freedman, 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. Suitable for experienced practitioners. Online Retreatants will have Practice Discussions with Ines Freedman.There will also be spaces available for Online Auditors, (those that would like to audit online without teacher support).
We encourage practitioners to participate fully, understanding that sometimes exceptions may be necessary due to one’s home circumstances.
