Rest & Renewal

Whether we are new to Insight Meditation or a seasoned practitioner, orienting to the awakening qualities — the pāramis — is an excellent way to set our compass, clarify our view and connect with our inner resources at the start of the year. Among these pāramis are generosity, kindness, wisdom, resolve, and equanimity. We explore together how these and other qualities can be developed and applied to the realities of our lives as we move forward into the year ahead.

This retreat includes some optional mindful movement (Qigong).
