Offered by: Gil Fronsdal

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.

This particular daylong retreat is meant for people who already understand 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. Brief interviews to talk about the practice will be available with Gil. Previous experience is recommended. Bring Lunch.

The program is offered freely, with no registration needed. If you'd like to donate to the teacher or the center, you can visit IMC's donation page here.

In an age marked by ecological uncertainty and social strain, hope can feel fragile — yet it remains an essential force for renewal and compassionate action. This 90-minute gathering invites participants to explore hope as a spiritual practice, grounded in mindfulness, interbeing, and the recognition of real progress in caring for our planet. Through sharing info on the state of progress on mitigating climate change, reflection, and shared dialogue, we will nurture a sense of resilient optimism — not as denial of suffering, but as a clear-eyed awareness of transformation already underway. Together, we will honor signs of healing in the Earth, our communities, and ourselves, and reaffirm our capacity to engage in meaningful ways.

Insight meditation (vipassana) has been taught widely in the US since the mid-1970s, when a number of teachers returned from years of retreats in India, Thailand, and Burma. Our senior teachers have practiced and taught in a variety of styles, including those of Mahasi Sayadaw, Ajahn Chah, Dipama, Pa Auk Sayadaw, and others. In this half-day class we’ll explore these teachers and the main styles of vipassana practice that have come from them into our US meditation centers.

This dana program is freely offered in the spirit of generosity. Any donation you can offer to the teacher and to the Sati Center to continue making these teachings available is greatly appreciated.

Ying Chen's Biography

Registration required, the registration and Mentor application form will appear here, scroll down in early July 2025

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.

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. 

2025-26 Team teaching includes Chris Clifford, Liz Powell and others.

The program has the following elements:

1. 2-1/2 hour monthly meetings that include teachings, meditation, and discussions.
2. Readings, reflections, and practices for each month.
3. 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.
4. Four optional drop-in Discussion/Q&A sessions for anyone, but especially for those with no personal mentor.
5. Ends with a one-day Eightfold Path retreat on Zoom and perhaps in-person.

Offered by: Kim Allen  
Breath meditation is a foundational practice that can be immediately accessible, and yet also unfold to deeper layers over many years. This daylong retreat is an opportunity to immerse in the simplicity and richness of the breath.

Our day will include guided and silent meditations, walking meditation, and dharma teachings. Classical instructions and guidance on mindfulness of breathing will support the opportunity to strengthen mindfulness, develop concentration, and practice with the IMC community. Individual practice discussions with the teacher will be available.

This daylong is appropriate for people who are already familiar with mindfulness meditation. Registration is not required. Bring lunch. 

The program is offered freely with no registration needed. If you'd like to donate to the teacher or the center, you can visit IMC's donation page here. 

No registration is necessary.

Kim Allen has been practicing Insight meditation since 2003, and has trained intensively in the U.S. and Asia with cumulative years of silent retreat. She has practiced with primary teacher Gil Fronsdal and other Western teachers, Theravādan monastics, and a few Mahāyāna teachers, and now offers retreats, sutta study, and experiential Dharma engagement. A teacher and author, Kim aims to bring classical Dharma to a modern context and to encourage lay practitioners in fully living a life of Dharma.

Speaking is a rich area for Buddhist Practice. In the Eightfold Path, the Buddha gave us guidance on how to engage in speech that unifies and is beneficial for oneself and others.

With mindfulness practice, we can learn to discern, from a place deep within, speech that gives rise to peace and wellbeing from that which does not.

This daylong retreat will include silent and guided periods of meditation, opportunities to practice mindful speaking with others, and a Dharma talk. It will offer a chance to integrate skills of your practice that support speaking, develop stability of mind, practice with the IMC community, and ask a teacher questions. Appropriate for beginners and those with more experience. Bring lunch. 

The program is offered freely, with no registration needed. If you'd like to donate to the teacher or the center, you can visit IMC's donation page here.

No registration is necessary.

Topic: Start a Conversation About Climate Change
Led by Elaine Salinger, climate activist and Citizens Climate Lobby leader and facilitated by Hilary Borison and Jan Messer

It has been shown that getting people to talk about climate change is one of the most effective ways to reduce our use of dirty energy and reduce the effects of climate change. During this month's meeting, we will briefly discuss the most effective climate solutions and then explore having conversations with family and friends about what we care about. We will discuss how to start a conversation with friends and family and how to deeply listen to others. We will share phrases that are door openers to build understanding and bridges.

Each session uses a variety of asanas (poses) to focus and calm the mind, enhance breath and overall awareness, and develop flexibility, balance and strength. Beginners are always welcome. The class is a mixed level and everyone is encouraged to work in accordance with their own needs and abilities. Bring a large towel and sticky mat, if you have one.

A gathering for self-identified women who wish to deepen practice in a loving community, as we learn to weave  mindfulness throughout our daily lives. For more information and to receive the zoom link, please contact Hilary at hborison@sbcglobal.net.

Meetings include brief sittings and consideration of pertinent Dharma topics; the primary purpose of each group is to provide each participant an opportunity to share personal challenges, triumphs, hopes, and fears with individuals facing a similar situation.

Registration required.

Please join us for a day of silence, reflection and the nourishment of spiritual friendship. Sangha — the community of Buddhist practitioners — is indispensable on our path. It is said that the dharma is transmitted from warm hand to warm hand. The intensity of the world requires that we have places of refuge, where the sincerity and good will of others soothes our hearts. Sangha is such a refuge.

The day will include silent and guided meditation periods, walking meditation, a dharma talk and opportunities for dialogue. All are welcome.

Offered by: Matthew Brensilver

Registration is open —For more information and to register see the Insight Retreat Center's Offsite Retreat page.
