Safety 

We work to protect the safety of all students. We reserve the right to remove any student from any class, sitting group, retreat, or any event if the student is disruptive to the safe learning environment we maintain for all.

Cancellation & Refunds

We reserve the right to cancel a class or event due to low enrollment or other circumstances which would make the event non-viable. If InsightLA cancels an event you’ve registered for, you will be offered a full refund. If an event has to be postponed for any reason, you will have the option to either receive a full refund or transfer your registration to the same event at the new, future date.

Donations are not refundable.

Given that many of us will be isolated from those we love this year, InsightLA would like to bring a spirit of warmth, togetherness, and meditation on Christmas Eve. Join us for this special zoom event and invite the whole family.
 
The evening will consist of wise and comforting words along with a guided meditation from Trudy Goodman and Jack Kornfield followed by some of the best Broadway actors sharing some festive songs followed by a guided meditation from Melissa McKay.
 

Bring your favorite holiday beverage to share in a toast and dedication together.  And be sure to connect to your good audio speakers to hear the magical voices of Siobhan Dillon (Sunset Blvd & Grease), Max Chernin (Bright Star), Caitlin Kinnunen (Tony nominated for The Prom) and Sasha Hutchings (Hamilton & Hamilton Film on Disney+).
