Eight-day retreat with Steven Smith

Rooted in the Theravadan Buddhist Burmese lineage of Mahasi Sayadaw since 1974, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to study with Steven Smith, a teacher trained and sanctioned by the highly respected monk and meditation master Sayadaw U Pandita. Participants can expect a focused and supportive environment dedicated to deepening meditation practice through clear instruction and steady guidance.

During the retreat, Steven teaches Vipassana alongside the Divine Abodes: loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. His approach invites practitioners to cultivate both insight and heart-centered awareness, creating space for quiet reflection, inner balance, and a more compassionate relationship with experience.

Held as an eight-day retreat, this program is designed for those seeking an immersive and meaningful meditation experience. It brings together traditional lineage, experienced teaching, and a peaceful retreat setting for sincere practice.
