The InsightLA BIPOC Sangha is a growing community where all ‘self-identified’ black, Indigenous, and people of color are invited to practice in a safe and welcoming space together. Sangha is a Pali word translated as beloved community and it’s used to describe a group of people who come together to practice meditation and mindfulness together.

Every Friday night we will gather to meditate together and share Buddhist-based teachings focused on love, wisdom and liberation. The goal is to let go of our pain and suffering and start getting free! With an open heart, we can learn to live more fully in the present moment. Whether you are new to meditation or have been practicing for years you will always learn something new. So come out and join us select Friday night from 7:00pm – 9:00pm!

Note:
The BIPOC Sangha will be taking a short summer break. Please join us again at the beginning of August!
