I’m coming back home! New York Insight is where my Dharma practice took root and it was my Dharma home for almost a decade; I volunteered, worked, and taught there. It’s exciting to be able to co-teach with dear Dharma friend, Leslie Booker, across the country!

While much of the retreat will be held in silence, NY Insight Guiding Teacher Leslie Booker and NY Insight former Deputy Director Dalila Bothwell will lead daily discussions on the Ten Paramis, or Ten Perfections, a set of qualities that can steady us in the floods of life. They include generosity, ethical conduct, renunciation, wisdom, effort, patience, truthfulness, resolve, metta and equanimity. Over the course of the week, you’ll engage with this framework for cultivating the qualities of the heart that lead to liberation. Together we’ll learn how to nurture our innate ability to be calm and steady despite challenges and difficult thoughts and feelings.

We hope you can join us! Open to all levels of practitioners, anyone may attend the whole week or join the retreat for just the first weekend.
