Registration required, the registration and Mentor application form will appear here, scroll down in early July 2024
The Buddha’s most explicit path of practice is the Eightfold Path— a set of eight practical approaches to bring Buddhist practice into the width and depth of our lives. The Eightfold Path Program is an introduction to each of the Eightfold factors so participants will discover how to apply each set of practices in ways that are personally meaningful.
Pre-requisite: completion of IMC’s Introduction to Meditation course or the equivalent.
The in-person and online versions of the program will occur parallel at the same time. Participants can attend either version throughout the program. After registering, you will receive Zoom links and course materials by email. A longer application is required to be assigned a mentor in addition to the group meetings. Mentoring slots may fill early.
2024-245Team teaching includes Tanya Wiser, Chris Clifford, Liz Powell and others.
The program has the following elements:
- 2-1/2 hour monthly meetings that include teachings, meditation, and discussions.
- Readings, reflections, and practices for each month.
- A monthly one-hour personal meeting with an Eightfold Path mentor (if you apply for this) to discuss one’s practice and reflections on the Eightfold Path factors.
- Four optional drop-in Discussion/Q&A sessions for anyone, but especially for those with no personal mentor.
- Ends with a one-day Eightfold Path retreat on Zoom and perhaps in-person.
Contact eightfoldpath@insightmeditationcenter.org with questions.

In-person only at IMC
Offered by:
Gil FronsdalThis silent daylong retreat is meant for people already familiar with the basic practice of mindfulness; no instruction will be given.
The schedule consists of alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation. At the end of the day Gil gives a Dharma talk. Previous experience is recommended.
Brief one-on-one practice discussions to talk about the practice will be available with Gil.
Practicing mindfulness on retreat is one of the foundations for maturing insight meditation. The simplicity, silence and support of retreats contribute to letting go of many of the distractions that get in the way of clear seeing. Retreats also are a wonderful environment for developing a continuity of awareness for an extended period.
Bring Lunch. No Registration Necessary
