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.

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.

“Enlightenment is intimacy with all things” – Zen Master Dogen

Join us for an introduction to the essentials of mindfulness, and grow in intimacy with your life. This 4-week class is appropriate for people new to meditation, as well as experienced meditators who want to refresh the fundamentals of their practice.

Through clear and insightful instruction and dialog, you’ll cultivate the ability to:
● Trust your meditation practice
● Feel more connected in your body
● Be present with emotion – both high & low
● Work with anxious, stressful or persistent thoughts
● Be friendly towards yourself
● Stay open and steady in the face of intense experiences
● Implement a sustained daily practice that works with your life

This class is especially helpful for people who have had difficulty meditating or feel they aren’t ‘doing it right’. We’ll keep it real – offering simple, practical guidance for meditation, as well as tools to implement in daily life. We might even have some fun.

Four weekly classes that meet Tuesday evenings from 7:30pm – 9:00pm.

You will receive the Zoom info via email after registering. If you would like to set up a payment plan please email support@insightla.org with the number of payments and the amount of each payment (ie 4 payments of $25).
