| Ruth Denison is a vipassana dharma elder whose style of teaching is unique in the IMS schedule. Her body-focused teachings invite students to drop below the level of concept into the direct experience of life. In addition to sitting and walking meditation, Ruth spontaneously guides the moment-to-moment development of awareness in movement, chanting and playful celebration. While the retreat is held in noble silence, continuous meditation instruction will be given during her teaching periods. |
