Course: Intro to Meditation

Two to three times per year we hold an eight-week course to introduce simple secular meditation practices to people new to meditation.

Starting January 27, 2026 we will have a ten-week Intro led by Jarett Myskiw. All welcome (including late starters).

Retreats

We occasionally offer in-person day retreats at our centre in Winnipeg. We occasionally also offer multi-day residential retreats at rented retreat spaces in Manitoba. Retreats will be announced here or, if you are on the mailing list, will be detailed there.

“I tell you, monks, that struggle and dissatisfaction result either in bewilderment or in search.”
