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.

In the event that these spots have been claimed and you’re interested in attending please email support@insightla.org to be added to the financial support waitlist.

In addition, we offer Payment Plans in a variety of amounts and durations (ie: If the class is $100 you can make 2 monthly payments of $50 or 4 monthly payments of $25). For payment plan requests, please email support@insightla.org. 

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.

Cancellation & Refunds

We reserve the right to cancel a class or special event due to low enrollment or other circumstances which would make the event non-viable. If InsightLA cancels an event you’ve registered for, you will be offered a full refund. If an event has to be postponed for any reason, you will have the option to either receive a full refund or transfer your registration to the same event at the new, future date.

Refund and Event Policies

Are you yearning to break free from one or more unhelpful habits? We all have cravings or unskillful tendencies that are triggered by discomfort, anxiety or the uncertainties of everyday life.  

In this online session with Robert Lurye, learn why habits are so hard to overcome, why willpower fails, and what we can do instead to change unwanted behaviors.

Mindfulness-Based Habit Change

Mindfulness-Based Habit Change (MBHC) is an evidence-based program based in part on the research of Dr. Judson Brewer. The program introduces us to the science of how habits are formed and teaches ancient strategies and practices to help us move past cravings and everyday addictions.

Learn how mindfulness can help us become more aware of the craving cycle and disenchanted with its results. Explore how curiosity and heartfeltness serve as rewarding replacements for our most unskillful habits.  

Who is this class for?

This introductory session teaches the fundamental principles of Mindfulness-Based Habit Change. Expect an introduction to the habit loop and reward-based learning, a variety of short mindful awareness practices, and group discussion.

Participants interested in deepening their experience may wish to continue with the 8-week program, Unwinding Anxiety through Mindfulness-Based Habit Change.

This is an online course. Join us LIVE on Zoom from the comfort of your own home.
