To Be Rescheduled [Hybrid] Concentration and Compassion: A Half-Day 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.

Join InsightLA senior teacher Wendy Block, L.C.S.W, for a half-day retreat focusing on enlivening our practice.

For many of us, the challenges of this past year showed us where we could use a little re-connection, re-freshing, and re-newing of our commitment to our meditation practice.

During this half-day, we will explore deepening concentration in our meditation practice, along with gratitude and compassion skills.

This will be a good opportunity to practice in community and strengthen our commitment to daily practice of meditation.

All levels of meditation experience are welcome.

This is a hybrid event – join in-person or online.

In keeping with the principles of the dharma that underlies all of our activities, primarily non-harming, we are requiring that all attendees be fully vaccinated in order to attend any in-person event. Please read the Benedict Canyon location page for notes on parking (where to park and where not to park).
Max Capacity: 35
Masks: Required indoors for everyone attending this event. We will spend most of the class outdoors on the back patio where masks are optional.
