Taking refuge in silence on this weekend Insight Meditation retreat can deepen our practice by helping us open to knowing how things are through direct experience. The three characteristics of existence will be explored: the impermanence of all things, unsatisfactoriness, and the interdependence of all beings. Designed for returners and new practitioners who wish to engage in these core teachings that the Buddha taught as gateways to freedom.
