Workshops offer
an opportunity to intensify every aspect of meditation practice. They
generally include periods of sitting and walking meditation practice,
Dharma talks, and question and answer periods. They are designed for
people relatively new to Vipassana as well as people with extensive
experience. Everyone is welcome. Please bring a vegetarian bag lunch or
plan to go out to eat in the neighborhood.

The support of the retreat
environment encourages continuity of awareness, and can help
develop qualities such as confidence, perseverance, mindfulness,
concentration and the unfolding of wisdom and compassion. Retreats are held in silence
and meals are provided. All retreats include instruction, interviews
and/or discussion in addition to meditation practice. There is also a
short period of mindful work.
Registrations
must be received by noon on Thursday before the retreat. It
is possible to register for one day of a two-day retreat. If you are
new to retreats at CIMC, it is possible to register for just the first
day of a two-day retreat but not just the second day. Please call the office for more information.
CIMC is unable to provide
housing. We can suggest places to stay that are within walking and
driving distance of the Center.
