Awakening Together: ILAYA Non-Residential Weekend Retreat


  • InsightLA Canyon Retreat House Westwanda Drive Beverly Hills, CA, 90210 United States (map)

Saturday Sep 9th + Sunday Sep 10th

10am - 5pm Saturday 10:00am - 4pm Sunday

Come spend the weekend with Celeste Young and Jozen Tamori Gibson at InsightLA's retreat center, the Canyon, and deepen your Insight practice with other young meditators. 

There will be periods of silent sitting and walking meditation with some instruction and guidance, a Dharma talk, and discussion. This retreat will be held mostly in the container of silence, and will include some relational practices with our own heart-mind-bodies (breath, movement) and with others (deep listening and some relational mindfulness exercises). There will be some time for small group check ins about your practice and Qigong (chi gung) offered with Gabrielle Hammond. 

Participants are encouraged to continue practicing mindfulness in the evening after our Saturday retreat to strengthen continuity of mindfulness, for a full retreat experience. 

*Special Note: Directions and location information will be emailed to you the week of the event. 

Space is limited, please be sure to sign up soon if you plan on joining us.
