CALGARY INSIGHT MEDITATION SOCIETY
Weekend Meditation Retreat
April 10 – 12, 2026
led by
Jeanne Corrigal
The Refuge of Intention
Intention is an ever-present refuge and wellspring of resilience and renewal. Intention offers us a way to begin again, to find nourishment and meaning in each moment, and to come home to what matters most. We will reflect on intention as a source of joy, purpose, and wise response in challenging times. The day will include meditation instruction, dharma reflections, practices of joy and celebration, and community practice. This silent meditation retreat is suitable for both new and experienced meditators.
