The Guidance & Support team will make decisions regarding inviting and supporting teachers for study, daily & retreat practice, in accordance with the Range of Practice policy.

At retreats, teachers will take primary responsibility for creating and protecting an emotionally safe space, online and at residential retreats, and for guiding individuals towards breadth and depth of practice. Meditation instructions and individual interviews will be provided as needed. Question & Answer sessions with teachers in the evening will not have a set finish time, but instead will continue until we are satisfied as a group that we can go on practicing with confident and settled minds.
