About Me


IMS is a spiritual refuge for all who seek freedom from the suffering of mind and heart. We offer meditation retreats rooted in the Theravada Buddhist teachings of ethics, concentration and wisdom. These practices help develop awareness and compassion, giving rise to greater peace and happiness in the world.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Annually, over 2,200 retreatants (or ‘yogis’ as they are called) participate in our programs – over 1,900 at the Retreat Center and over 300 at the Forest Refuge.

Yogis come from many walks of life – professionals, students and spiritual seekers, both monastic and lay. Approximately 60% of participants are female, 40% are male, and 13% are under 30 years of age.
