[In-Person] Finding Quietude in Community - 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.

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.

Refund and Event Policies

We are deeply grateful to our community members for their understanding, patience, and support through this challenging and life changing chapter of our journey together. We are eager to move into the next phase of our adventure. In keeping with the principals of the dharma that underlies all of our activities, primarily ahimsa (do no harm), we are requiring that all attendees be fully vaccinated in order to attend any in-person event. If you certify that you meet this requirement please select ‘yes’ on the registration page. This requirement is for the initial stage of reopening and we are looking forward to practicing together once again in-person! Please register early, max capacity is 15 students.

To offer or join a ride share, click Sign-Up to the left. Thank you for supporting fellow practitioners.

When we have the opportunity to meditate together in person, we can cultivate an increasing awareness of embodied connection and a collective affirmation for our practice.

Please join us at the serene and beautiful Benedict Canyon Retreat House for in-person stationary and walking meditation. We will be outdoors on the shaded patio and masks are optional.

All revenue from this event goes towards InsightLA to support Insight in Action, Insight in Schools, and BIPOC/Queer Scholarships. Thank you for your generosity and Barbara’s generosity!

Schedule:
10-11am: Two lightly guided stationary (sitting, standing, or reclining) meditations, with 10 minute break in between
11-11:30am: Optional movement/walking meditation and a closing dialogue

We welcome you to come and stay for however long you wish. We look forward to your company!
