NEW: online weekend retreat

Balancing Effort and Enjoyment

This weekend retreat will focus on the balance between effort and enjoyment in insight meditation, to help refresh, renew, and re-inspire your practice.

For many people, enjoyment is less well developed than effort—as it was for the Buddha himself at the start of his own journey to freedom—so there will be an emphasis on cultivating skillful, positive mental states such as appreciation, gladness, ease, calm, and contentment, as supports for finding more balance in your meditation and your daily life.

Hosted by the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts

Time and dates: 7:00 pm ET Friday, October 23 to 3:00 pm Sunday, October 25
