Insight Meditation Center

Insight Meditation Center

The Insight Meditation Center is a community-based, urban refuge for the teachings and practice of insight meditation, also known as mindfulness or vipassana meditation. We offer Buddhist teachings in clear, accessible and open-handed ways.

Guided by Gil Fronsdal and Andrea Fella, IMC offers a broad range of programs and community activities.

IMC does not require payment for any of our teachings, programs or events. The support of our teachers and center expenses is done through voluntary donations from the community. All the work in running and maintaining IMC and its programs is done by volunteers. We are inspired by how effectively mindfulness practice unfolds when it does so in a field of goodwill, generosity and gratitude.

You can support our work with a donation at www.insightmeditationcenter.org/donate/.

    While considering autonomy I find it interesting as a parent how I don’t have autonomy because of the need to take care of others who’s need come first. Interesting & a great topic to reflect on thoroughly. Thank you 🙏

    For those of us who love language and honor and trust it, this is a profound concept. How do we go from being taught to "use our words" to understanding that words won't save us?
