The teachers at the WBMG have studied with many different advanced level teachers– some of whom come to the Boston area. In general, the high season for visiting teachers is May through October.  Weekend programs and retreats are a way to deepen your meditation practice. Many retreats combine intensive meditation practice with talks by an advanced teacher.  Sometimes retreats fill up quickly so it is good to explore options early.

We will post events of interest on our Home page as they become available, and also on the Upcoming Events page. Here are some options for teachings and retreats.
