Fee for the retreat will be $10. Please use our

the retreat will receive an email a day or two before the retreat with the Zoom
link for the retreat.
Dori will also give an online talk and lead
meditation on Friday, July 22, from 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm PT with the same
topic. No registration needed for that, you will be able to find the Zoom
link for that event in the IMMC newsletter, on the IMMC website, https://insightmeditationmc.org/my-calendar/ the week
of the event, or you can send an email to InsightMeditation.Midcol@gmail.com requesting
the link.
In both events, Dori's description includes the
practice of Seeing the Goodness and Gladdening the Heart-Mind to
foster a spacious and grounded “inner atmosphere” for receiving whatever arises
with wisdom and kindness, both in formal meditation and in daily life. Together
we will attune to the Wise Effort teachings that prepare us to: Wake up
wholesome mindstates when they are not arising in the
mind, and to Keep wholesome mindstates alive in the
mind once they have already risen.
