True Freedom: Breaking Destructive Habits of Mind - 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

In this class we will look at how societal definitions of freedom leave us entrapped in habits of greed, hatred, and delusion. Through a Dharma perspective, we learn how to break out of these beliefs and negative thought patterns. Using mindfulness and lovingkindness, we get a taste of true freedom. This is not dependent on any worldly objects or accomplishments, but comes through an inner letting go.
