IMS’s Forest Refuge has hosted experienced meditators since 2003. Its program is specifically designed to encourage sustained, longer-term retreat practice – a key component in the transmission of Buddhism from Asia to the West. Within a harmonious and secluded environment, meditators can nurture the highest aspiration for liberation. In consultation with visiting insight meditation teachers, a program of training in one or more Early Buddhist practices is created for each participant, allowing the continuing unfolding of deeper levels of wisdom and compassion. A personal retreat here strengthens practice, faith, confidence and self-reliance.

Perhaps a lighter noise gate?

A lovely podcast - one curiosity;
Would it be possible for the editors to master with a lower noise gate to allow for the full layer of atmospheric sound? When it goes dead silent between a person’s words it makes it hard to breathe. Good sound breathes with the speaker, lets us feel together in the room.
Thank you
