Online Workshops & Retreats 2026

Retreat Code: 9-Day-Aug-2026    Location: Online via Zoom.

MIDL (Mindfulness in Daily Life) is a Buddhist Insight Meditation practice, based on Theravada Buddhist Suttas, designed for daily life. MIDL uses the development of samatha (calm-abiding) as a foundation for vipassana (insight) into hindrances to calm, during seated meditation, walking meditation and daily activities. Because of curiosity toward the integration of calm and insight, and its low levels of meditation-induced dukkha (suffering), MIDL has the advantage over other retreat practices in that it can be continued outside of meditation retreats in family and work life.
