Insight Meditation Scottsdale

Cultivating mindful and loving awareness of body and mind allows us to drop in to the immediacy of experience and experience relief. A day of practice, in the container of a retreat, provides a precious opportunity for deepening into the stillness, and softening toward ourselves and toward our experience.

Join the Scottsdale Sangha (community) for a nourishing day of silence supported in your practice by an experienced teacher and in community with others.

The day will include alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation, instructions and guidance in Vipassana (Insight/Mindfulness) and Metta (Loving Kindness) practices, an afternoon session of gentle, mindful movement, and a Dharma talk. This retreat is appropriate for beginning meditators as well as experienced practitioners with a balance of instruction and silence. 

Genevieve Tregor has practiced Vipassana meditation since 2008 with an emphasis on long-term retreat practice; she has studied and practiced in depth with senior Western and Monastic teachers in the Insight Tradition, and practiced over a year and a half in intensive silent retreat.

She has led the Insight Meditation Scottsdale sangha since its founding in 2014, and teaches retreats in the Insight Tradition Internationally. She also teaches mindfulness in secular settings (including MBSR) and Qi Gong in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area through her business Solution Mindfulness. For the past six years Genevieve has also served on the Faculty of Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach's International Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, mentoring teachers-in-training Internationally. She is trained in the three year Somatic Experiencing (SE) modality for healing trauma, and certified in Radiant Heart Qi Gong by Teja Fudo Myoo Bell.
