Insight Meditation Scottsdale

The Buddha taught a path to relief and freedom is available to each of us regardless of life situation or circumstance. Cultivating mindful awareness of body and mind allows us to drop in to the immediacy of experience and the relief that comes with this. A day of practice, in the container of a retreat, provides a precious opportunity for deepening into the stillness and ease available just beneath the waves of daily life 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 leads the Insight Meditation Scottsdale sangha 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 four 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.
