Insight Meditation Scottsdale

 Join the Scottsdale Sangha for a day of Vipassana (Mindfulness) Meditation with a focus on enhancing kind and non-judgmental awareness. Instruction and guidance will be balanced with periods of silent practice throughout the day. 

The day will include alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation, instructions and guidance in Vipassana and Brahma Vihara practices, an afternoon session of gentle, mindful Qi Gong and a Dharma talk. This retreat is appropriate for beginning meditators as well as experienced practitioners with a balance of instruction and silence. 

The retreat will be led by Genevieve Tregor:
