Join us for a Heartwarming Holiday Celebration

As the year draws to a close and the season of light unfolds, we invite you to pause, reflect, and connect in the spirit of joy and gratitude.

Insight LA is thrilled to host a special Holiday Meditation and Dharma Sharing led by our beloved teachers, Trudy Goodman and Jack Kornfield. Together, we’ll weave moments of stillness and shared wisdom, exploring the essence of the holidays through gentle meditation and open-hearted dharma dialogue. This sacred time will remind us of the profound gifts of presence, compassion, and inner peace amid the festivities. Following our practice, savor the simple delights of seasonal treats and warm beverages—a cozy toast to community, connection, and the beauty of this season.

This intimate gathering is open to all—whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or simply seeking a nurturing space to unwind. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today at insightla.org/events or reply to this email. May this holiday season bring you deep peace and boundless light. We can’t wait to share it with you.
