Description: Five-night Vipassana retreat at Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Barre, MA with Trudy Goodman, Kate Lila Wheeler, Gina Sharpe and Chas DiCapua.

We live in a realm of desire, but desire need not take over our intentions merely because it is present. Instead, we can learn to feel desire as an energy in our bodies and minds. This can create the freedom we need to choose which desires we can act upon without causing harm to ourselves and others.

Held within the context of silent insight meditation practice, this retreat offers tools to transform even the strongest desire into the energy for awakening. New intentions toward happiness can then form and flow freely.

This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators
