*This daylong retreat is facilitated by Nick Ingrisani. I’ve been practicing meditation for over 10 years, primarily in the lineages of Tibetan and Theravāda Buddhism. This daylong retreat was developed from teachings and practices I learned from Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, in their two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program.
**Space is limited to 12 people.
