Insight Meditation Society, Barre, MA
Recent studies have demonstrated the positive influence that wisdom and compassion can have on our lives and in our society. These qualities form a foundation for emotional intelligence and balance of mind to arise, allowing humanity – in all its diversity – to live and work together in greater harmony.
In the company of researchers, educators, therapists and others involved in the broad areas of the mind and social sciences, participants will have an opportunity to develop the qualities of wisdom and compassion, through in-depth instruction in mindfulness practice. Conforming to the spirit of empirical science, this is simply a means of training our minds to become more keenly concentrated and aware. Although drawn from the Buddhist meditative tradition, the teachings do not in any way require an adherence to Buddhism or a rejection of personal faith.
Held mostly within a context of silence and simplicity, the course will include discussion groups towards the end. An optional daily period of yoga will be offered.
This retreat will be taught by Sharon Salzberg and Gina Sharpe and is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
10 CEs are available for Psychologists and Licensed Mental Health Counselors.
