Refund and Event Policies

Join us for a Special Event on March 31st as the Sunday Sitting Group comes back in person with Trudy Goodman and Jack Kornfield.  Beverages and snacks will be served.  

This event is the in-person version of a hybrid event which will take place both in-person and online. To register for the online version of this event, click here.

Sunday mornings are treasured at InsightLA as we enjoy a warm community gathering for this special weekly practice group. This group began late in 2002 and is the longest-running, most attended group after almost twenty years.

Sunday Practice Groups are led by InsightLA founder Trudy Goodman or one of the many wonderful InsightLA teachers who have studied with her. We are occasionally joined by special guest teachers. 

Who is this sitting group for?
InsightLA drop-in sitting groups are an opportunity for you to learn more about meditation practice in a welcoming environment. All Practice Groups at InsightLA are drop-in and donation-based. Let’s Sit Together!

Expect a meditation with some guidance, followed by a Dharma talk and dialogue. Optional break-out groups give you a chance to get to know others and explore your practice experiences together.

No prior meditation experience is necessary. 

By donation:

Although this is a donation-based class, registration is required.
