Sometimes we gather from 3:00 – 4:30 pm at Ekoji for a community sit\, reflection and sharing. Sometimes we meet for a half-day retreat. At other times we may offer a “Sunday Unplug” day\, starting on Zoom in the morning to set our intentions for the day\, followed by individual practice at home and closing at Ekoji and on Zoom in the afternoon. How the day will unfold\, what themes or topics are being discussed\, etc.\, might be different each Sunday. Below more information about this Sunday’s event. In the list of events on our website is more information on each Sunday’s practice. \nThis monthly event is a wonderful opportunity to practice meditation\, reflect on the Dhamma\, receive support from the community\, and to be a support for others by offering your presence.  \nBeginners and experienced meditators are welcome to join. For those new to IMCR we offer an online orientation. Additionally\, beginning meditators are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Vipassana (Insight) meditation through the series of videos on this page. \nThis Sunday’s Event DescriptionOn Sunday March 1st we will have a Half-Day Retreat. \nDescription: The enlightened Vipassana teacher Nani Dipa Ma once said that at a certain point love and wisdom become one. We don’t have to be highly realized beings to explore and directly feel this truth. In our time together\, we will review how the 3 characteristics of experience – change\, not self and suffering – merge with love through reflection and practices of loving kindness as well as compassion. We will also consider the freedom that this understanding and felt sense imparts. \nGenerosity for the Teacher and the IMCR GroupThere are two ways to practice generosity (dana) for this retreat: \n\nGenerosity for the teacher: the suggested donation for the teacher is: $10 – $70 (sliding scale).\nGenerosity for the IMCR group: we appreciate donations of any amount you feel comfortable and generous giving.\n\nYour donation to the teacher provides support to allow the teacher to continue offering these teachings\, and your donation to the IMCR group allows the continuation of the IMCR group. Please give as feels appropriate and generous for you. Please delight in your generosity and know that the dharma continues to be offered to you and others through our collective acts of sharing. All are welcome\, no donation is required \nMore information about the concept of dana\, generosity\, in Buddhism. \nQuestions?Don’t hesitate to contact us. 								\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n\n	Categories:	\n		Half-Day Retreat\, Monthly Sunday Sit	\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n	Organizer\n	IMCR\n	\n	View Organizer Website \n\n\n	\n	Email:\n					\n			info@imcrva.org			\n	 \n\n\n\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n				\n				\n	\n	Ekoji\n	\n	\n\n3411 Grove Avenue\n	\n		\n		Richmond\,\n\n	VA\n\n	23221\n\n	United States\n\n\n\n\n	+ Google Map \n\n\n	\n					\n						\n	 \n\n\n	\n	View Venue Website \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n	\n				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n	\n		\n\n				IMCR Deepening Practice Program	\n\n\n		\n	\n		City Retreat: Awake and at Ease
