The Island of Sangha

with Angela Dews and nakawe cuebas

Sunday April 21st, 2019 | 10:00am – 5:00pm

Join us on this day-long retreat to explore how spiritual friendship, sangha, can deepen our practice.

As our beloved Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh states “coming home to the island of sangha.” We mostly think of awakening as an individual affair. The teachings can make it sound like that. However, when we take refuge, we take refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha.

Join us as we take refuge together, practice together, understand together, and awaken together. Meditation practitioners of all levels of experience are welcome to this Daylong retreat.

New York Insight Meditation Center is offering a new structure for registration. Members receive 15% off of the Sustaining Rate via a code provided in the membership email confirmation.

NYI is committed to ensuring that our programs are available to all, regardless of ability to pay. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. No financial assistance application is needed when registering for a program.
