Experiencing Insight

With Shaila Catherine

An At-home Online Retreat

Registration is required. Scroll down to choose a ticket level. Registration will close when full or  3 days prior to the retreat, so don’t wait to the last minute!

This at-home online weekend retreat will include instructions for practicing insight meditation. The teachings will highlight ways to contemplate the impermanent, unsatisfactory, and not-self characteristics of experience—these are the key insights that lead to liberation. 

Please join us as we deepen our practice together through a program of live video conferences with Shaila Catherine. The online meetings will include guided meditations, Dharma talks, question and answer sessions, and small group discussions. 

More information, an expanded schedule, and a link to join the video conferences will be emailed to registrants a few days prior to the retreat. All sessions will take place via Zoom.

Registration: Registration is required for this course. Registration fees are non-refundable. To register, select an option under the Tickets heading at the bottom of this page. 

Course Fee: The non-refundable registration fee is based on a sliding scale of $600 to $190. The lower end of the sliding scale is intended for those with limited financial means. If you pay at the mid to high range of the sliding scale, your generosity supports those with limited income to attend our programs, and also supports the teacher. Our teacher relies upon the generosity of students for her livelihood, so we encourage you to choose the highest level that is appropriate for your economic situation. Thank you for your generosity! The ticketing process will give you the option of paying by credit card, Pay Pal, or by mailing a check.

Teacher Dana: Donations to support the teacher are much appreciated. Opportunities to give are listed on our Donate page. The Base Rate and Scholarship Rate do not include Teacher Dana.

Scholarship Assistance: A scholarship rate of $105 is offered for those with very limited financial means. To request a scholarship, contact the registrar at meditate.

Tax Deductions: The basic registration fee (Base Rate of $190) and the scholarship rates do not include teacher dana and are not tax deductible. By selecting a ticket level above $190, you will be contributing to teacher dana and the amount above $190 will be considered a voluntary tax deductible Teacher Dana contribution. In January of the following year, the treasurer will mail a letter acknowledging all donations made in the preceding year for your tax records.

Cancellation Policy: All fees and payments are non-refundable. If it becomes necessary to cancel participation in a course, and the registrar is notified prior to the start of the first meeting, your registration fee will be converted into a voucher creditable towards the fee for either a future IMSB or Bodhi-Retreats program. Vouchers must be used within one year of the initial course start date, and may be transferred to only one future course. Cancellations that occur after the start of the first meeting are not eligible for the voucher credit.
