Awakening in the Body Daylong Retreat - InsightLA Meditation

Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible).

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

Refund and Event Policies

How do we move out of our heads and into the moment to moment felt sense of our embodied experience?

The Buddha said, “There is one thing that when cultivated and regularly practiced, leads to deep spiritual intention, to peace, to mindfulness and clear comprehension, to vision and knowledge, to a happy life here and now and to the culmination of wisdom and awakening. And what is that one thing? It is mindfulness centered on the body.”

In this daylong retreat we will develop methods for bringing this sense of mindful embodiment to our moment to moment experience, and create a quiet refuge together to cultivate kind attention to this body and nourish the heart. Through periods of guided and silent meditation, walking meditation, gentle mindful movement, a Dharma talk and discussion, we will explore for ourselves the river of aliveness that we call the body, and the joy that can be found in living in and through our bodies, here and now.

Please bring a bag lunch. There are also dining options nearby.
