GWKSP 6057 Mindfulness Meditation Retreat

As an important part of their training in mindfulness studies, students attend and complete a five-day silent meditation retreat with their cohort. The retreat is led by an experienced meditation teacher and assisted by a Lesley faculty member and includes periods of instruction and discussion before and after the days of silent practice. Students gain valuable experience in meeting and working through the classical challenges of meditation and gather important first-hand experience with mindfulness practice.
