Half-day Guided Retreat

Join members of the Institute for a meditation retreat led by Michael Apollo, RP, Founder of Mindful Society Global Institute. The retreat will begin with a half-day of guided meditation practice led by Michael, followed by an optional self-led meditation retreat utilizing guided audio meditation recordings or following your own meditation practice.

Michael will offer a progression of “Shamatha” guided meditation practices focused on cultivating “calm abiding”. These practices will consist of focused attention and open monitoring practices, like the ones studied by UC Davis in the Shamatha Project.
