 Meditation Retreats: 

This list of retreat centers is not meant to be exclusive or complete.  The intention and format of the retreat you choose, and the background of the teacher, is more important than the name of the retreat center.  This list is the same offered by the Center for Mindfulness at UMASS for those interested in MBSR and other mindfulness-based training programs.
