Description
These informal, in-person retreats consist of alternating sitting and walking periods between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. They provide an opportunity to practice meditation in silence with others at CIMC. Volunteer meditators can sign up on the day of to ring the bell at the end of each walking and sitting period.
We observe the following meditation schedule. You are welcome to come to CIMC for any part of the retreat; however, please plan on entering the meditation hall either before the first sit or during any walking period.
