Our Teachers

Jeanne Corrigal, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan’s first accredited Vipassana teacher, is now our guiding teacher in RIMC. We are grateful she accepted this invitation and deeply appreciate her inclusive mentoring. Jeanne’s vision is to wrap our whole lives and community with the dharma and she has worked to create a larger Prairie Dharma Community, connecting the 3 prairie provinces. 

Jeanne is a graduate of the 2017-2021 IMS teacher training program. She has trained primarily in the Burmese lineage of Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw, with a great affinity for the Thai Forest Tradition of Ajahn Buddhadasa and for the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. She has taught with Mindfulness Magazine, Lion’s Roar and Tricycle’s online programs, and teaches across North America. She is Metis, and one of her first teachers in loving presence was Cree Elder Jim Settee.

Jeanne believes, “[t]here are many paths in our collective journey. Beginners and experienced practitioners all support each other, in spiritual friendship. We are fortunate to be together in the practice, in these times.”

We feel blessed to have her guidance and support.


Fran Gilboy, a CDL graduate, along with several senior practitioners,  has been leading some Monday Night weekly meditation gatherings.

In addition, she led a well-received non-residential retreat, A Sacred Pause in October 2025.
