St Anthony Retreat Center, 3351 Kalihi Street, Honolulu

About the teachers:

Steven Smith has been teaching Vipassana Metta retreats worldwide since 1983.  His clear and precise teaching of the Theravadin tradition is highly regarded by his students.  He founded Vipassana Hawaii, began the fusion retreat style with Sayadaw U Lakkhana in Kyaswa and chairs the Metta Dana Project offering aid in Burma and Thailand.

Michele McDonald has taught Insight meditation for twenty-six years. Her style of teaching emphasizes helping individuals find entry points into stillness that are natural for them. She encourages an understanding the path of insight and a gentle strengthening of mindfulness and concentration so that, ultimately, people can access the peaceful depths of their experience in every moment. Michele is thrilled when students begin to love their practice.
