Fully Living the Life You Have

Featured Residential Retreat

Many of us long for a deeper intimacy with life, hoping for a life that will be more profound or more moving or simply different. Dhamma practice responds directly to this kind of dissatisfaction.

Come join us and experience the support of sangha on this retreat. The weekend option will provide an overview and model for this, with an opportunity to practice — the week-long option will take the dive deeper and harvest what ripens.

This retreat is taught by Dhammadīpā and Jeff Rosenberg and is hosted by the Insight Meditation Community of Washington (IMCW).
