Awaken Insight Retreats hosts residential retreats led by masterful teachers who guide meditation practices to awaken wisdom and contentment as described in the earliest Buddhist texts. These retreats are neither difficult nor a test of endurance, but rather a joy-filled journey on the middle path of clarity and wisdom. 

Retreat leaders are renowned for their ability to guide people to experience awakening as taught by the Buddha. The training incorporates extensive study, mentoring, and years of dedicated practice. Daily one-on-one interviews provide every retreat participant with individualized guidance and detailed instruction.

Retreats are an integrated and supportive environment to optimize progress to the goal of attaining enlightenment or Nibbana (Nirvana). Eight precepts comprise a basic moral code of conduct that is maintained throughout the retreat. Mindful silence with an emphasis on ease and lightheartedness are encouraged at all times.
