The mission of TWIM Foundation and Awaken Insight Retreats are to host expert meditation guidance by teachers as described in the earliest Buddhist texts. Tranquil wisdom insight meditation (TWIM) combines insight-vipassana with tranquility samatha as described in the original dialogues of the Buddha. These retreats are neither difficult nor a test of endurance, but rather, a joy-filled journey to awakening insight leading to awakening. Effective application or "right effort" is the cornerstone to success and central to Buddha teaching for realization of the Noble Eightfold Path.
