This is not an exhaustive list of in-person retreats that would qualify for the silent retreat requirement. If you cannot find a retreat on this list that meets your needs, we encourage you to research in your area for other in-person retreats that might meet the qualifications.
The following in-person retreats are being offered by MMTCP mentors or previous facilitators. All of these retreats qualify as a prerequisite. They are a minimum of a 4-night silent meditation retreat in the Insight or Vipassana tradition taught primarily by teachers in that tradition who have been trained and approved to teach silent residential retreats.
If you choose to take part in one of these in-person retreats you will need to let us know you have completed the requirement by emailing mmtcp@soundstrue.com.
