Retreat Dharma Talks at Spirit Rock Meditation Center

Insight Meditation Retreat for Young Adults

In this retreat we will quiet minds and open our hearts through the practices of insight and loving-kindness meditations. Together we will come to see that freedom is possible through meeting ourselves, our relationships and our world more fully with deepening wisdom, compassion and acceptance. This retreat will include silent and guided meditations, periods of sitting and walking meditation, qigong, practice meetings with the teachers, dharma talks and a chance to build community. Devon Rath will assist on this retreat.
