Lotus Insight Sangha: Taking Refuge in Presence and Love (5-day hybrid retreat online and at St. Andrew's House), Apr 7-12, 2023

Arinna gives morning instructions on vedana (feeling tone) for the fourth day of the retreat, and closes with a guided meditation:

"...and that is a different way of talking about what the Buddha is inviting us to — that it is possible to stay connected to that wish, not to be moved by reaction to the pleasant or the unpleasant, so that we might live in a field of non-harming"

About Arinna Weisman

Arinna has been studying insight meditation since 1979 and teaching since 1989. Her root teacher is Ruth Denison, who was empowered to teach by meditation master U Ba Khin. 

Arinna founded the Insight Meditation Center of Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts and, with Eric Kolvig, was the first to lead insight meditation retreats for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, gender-queer community. 

She is co-author of the book A Beginners Guide to Insight Meditation and a contributor to Women Practicing Buddhism: American Experiences, edited by Peter Gregory and Susanne Mrozik. 

Her practice and teachings are infused with her political and environmental activism. She leads "Uncovering the Heart" retreats which integrate the awareness of the social dynamics of inequity with the dharma practice of liberation.
