Albuquerque Vipassana Sangha

Day Retreats

Below we list upcoming non-residential day-long or weekend retreats sponsored by the Albuquerque Vipassana Sangha. (To see info about longer retreats on the schedule see Residential Retreats.)

First, a note about Dana: The teachings are offered freely; no compensation for our teachers is included in any fee you might pay to register for a retreat. If there is a fee, it covers only the actual cost of the retreat such as teacher transportation or facilities costs. At the end of the day, students have the opportunity to return the generosity of the teachers by making voluntary contributions (dana) to them. Since our teachers depend largely on dana to support themselves, these student offerings allow them to continue to teach. Dating back to the time of the Buddha, this interdependence between those who offer the teachings and those who receive them has been a beautiful part of our tradition.

Details below might change. Please check back closer to the retreat for new information and revisions.
