REGISTER: Now – Jan 11, 2023
RETREAT: Jan 13 – 15, 2023
This at-home online weekend retreat will nourish seven qualities that prepare the mind for awakening: mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity. These Seven Awakening Factors mature into a bright, balanced, and peaceful mind that is imbued with deep concentration and ripe for insight. By cultivating these seven qualities meditators refine and balance their meditation practice, and gradually incline the mind toward awakening.
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.
This retreat is appropriate for beginning, intermediate, and experienced practitioners.
Co-sponsored by Bodhi-Retreats and Insight Meditation South Bay

Course Fee: The non-refundable registration fee is based on a sliding scale of $625 to $225. 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 shown on our Donate page. The Base Rate and Scholarship Rate do not include Teacher Dana.
Scholarship Assistance: A scholarship rate of 30% discount is offered for those with financial need. Full scholarships are offered to monastics. To request the coupon code to enable registration with the scholarship discount, contact the registrar at meditate.
Tax Deductions: The basic registration fee and the scholarship rate do not include teacher dana and are not tax deductible. By selecting a ticket level above the base rate, you will be contributing to teacher dana and the amount above the base rate will be considered a voluntary tax deductible Teacher Dana contribution.
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 and are non-refundable.
