Information and Registration: See the website of the Insight Meditation Community of Richmond \nDescriptionDuring this retreat the focus is on the cultivation of relaxed open awareness. Open and relaxed awareness can help us to cultivate a broad and skillful understanding of our moment-to-moment experience. Participants will be encouraged to allow experience to be known in a simple way as it naturally unfolds. This integrated approach to practice is inspired by the teaching style of the Burmese monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya. \nSayadaw U Tejaniya is a respected meditation teacher known for his clear\, practical\, and accessible approach to Buddhist meditation practice. With decades of experience\, he emphasizes the importance of cultivating awareness in all situations\, encouraging practitioners to observe their thoughts and sensations with open and relaxed awareness. \nThe retreat is suitable for beginning as well as experienced meditators. Beginners are asked to familiarize themselves with Vipassana meditation on the page for beginners on our website. \n 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Information and registration\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n\n	Categories:	\n		Featured\, Retreat	\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n	\n	Website:	\n	https://imcrva.org/event/5-day-insight-meditation-retreat-open-and-relaxed-awareness/\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n	Organizer\n	Insight Meditation Community of Richmond\n	\n	View Organizer Website \n\n\n	\n	Email:\n					\n			info@imcrva.org			\n	 \n\n\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n				\n				\n	\n	Richmond Hill\n	\n	\n\n2209 E Grace St\n	\n		\n		Richmond\,\n\n	VA\n\n	23223\n\n	United States\n\n\n\n\n	+ Google Map \n\n\n	\n					\n						\n	 \n\n\n	\n	 \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n	\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n		\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	\n		\n	\n\n		\n			\n									\n	Google Calendar\n\n									\n	iCalendar\n\n									\n	Outlook 365\n\n									\n	Outlook Live\n\n							\n		\n\n		\n	\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n		\n\n				Insight Meditation Summer Retreat (in the Netherlands)	\n\n\n		\n	\n		Turning Inward: A Silent Insight Meditation Retreat in Nature (in Colorado)
