IWM Offerings

​We request pre-registration for courses and retreats. Please plan to register 7 days before the start of a course or retreat to ensure it runs as scheduled (unless otherwise noted). All other offerings are open. Each offering will list if it’s in-person (locations may vary), Zoom, or hybrid. Our COVID protocols currently require vaccination and N95/KN95 masks.

We use the same Zoom link for all public offerings unless otherwise noted.

IWM's Sangha-Wide Common Read

In January and February we will be hosting a Sangha-wide “Common Read” of Kate Johnson’s book Radical Friendship. This is a way for everyone to come together in reading and discussing this transformational book, which takes the Buddha’s teachings about friendship and applies them to our lives, and our care for others and for the world. Click here to read more.
​

There are three ways to participate:

• Join a Kalyana Mitta, or Spiritual Friends, group (update: groups are now full and underway)
• Join one or more facilitated drop-in sessions discussing the book
• Attend a special event on February 25 when Kate Johnson comes to IWM!
