Clarity, Compassion and Freedom: Insight Meditation Retreat

It is 2,600 years since Siddhartha Gautama experienced a profound awakening and became the Buddha. In our current times, what does it mean for us to fully wake up? Throughout this insight meditation retreat, we will seek to answer this question through Buddhist teachings and practices, which offer a path toward greater clarity, compassion, freedom and ease of being. We will draw on stories and myths from the lives of the women surrounding the historical Buddha to create a more inclusive, fully embodied archetypal map of the spiritual journey.
