About IMS Urban Retreats: These non-residential retreats offer a great opportunity to experience the IMS practice experience closer to home, within the container of noble silence. IMS teachers are supported directly by the community through the practice of dana, which means “generosity” in Pali. You will be invited to offer a contribution to the teacher at the end of the retreat. (Suggested Teacher Dana = $80) Registration fees only cover the operational costs of the weekend.
