To assist you in completing the 4+ night silent retreat requirement for the MMTCP program, we've compiled a list of in-person and online retreats shared by MMTCP mentors from around the globe. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and we encourage you to explore additional in-person retreats in your local area that may meet the qualifications.
All the online retreats listed below meet the prerequisite criteria, as they are a minimum of a 4-night silent meditation retreat within the Insight or Vipassana tradition. These retreats are led primarily by trained and approved teachers specializing in silent residential retreats.
Only online retreats pre-approved will be counted as qualifying MMTCP prerequisite retreats. Not all online retreats will meet the criteria Jack and Tara have outlined.
All students taking an online retreat to read MMTCP Participant Guidelines for a Successful Online Retreat (for students).
Please always verify the retreat time zone compatibility with your time zone. See Time Zone Converter – Time Difference Calculator
