Thanks to generous donations, funding is again available to support a number of experienced BIPOC meditators who wish to undertake longer-term practice at the Forest Refuge<\/a> in 2024. This is in addition to our ongoing program of financial assistance, which annually supports about a third of our retreatants.<\/p>\n

This opportunity forms part of our broader vision to develop more leaders of color within our North American insight community.<\/p>\n

For BIPOC meditators who are unable to afford IMS\u2019s usual fees, we are offering a reduced rate for one month of personal retreat. Fees are on a You Choose basis. This means you can establish the rate you are able to pay, at or above $20 per night. (If paying more than $20 per night is possible, it will allow additional yogis to receive support.)<\/p>\n

Before you apply to sit at the Forest Refuge, please make sure you meet the application requirements.<\/a> We expect that candidates have participated in at least one six-week structured and teacher-led insight meditation retreat, or six similar one-week retreats.<\/p>\n

Since our funds are limited, we will be awarding spaces on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage those interested to apply as soon as possible. If you are interested, please email fr@dharma.org<\/a> or call 978-355-2063 to indicate interest in applying, as a BIPOC experienced meditator, for a period of retreat during 2024 at this You Choose rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
