Real Change: Mindfulness To Heal Ourselves and the World - 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.

Refund and Event Policies

In today’s fractured world, even when we have the willingness to look at suffering, we often feel overwhelmed, may end up frozen in our tracks, and feel that we can’t do anything. In this daylong we will explore tools of meditation, not as a replacement for action, but as a way to practice generosity with ourselves and reconnect to a sense of life that’s bigger than immediate circumstances. We will look at the journey from empathy to compassion, anger to courage, and grief to resilience in trying to make a difference.

Whether you’re working on resolving conflicts with a neighbor, caregiving an aging parent, registering voters, or trying to combat global warming, the fundamental principles and practices of mindfulness and lovingkindness can lead to greater clarity and confidence, which helps us find more balance and joy as we take each next step into a better world.

The event will consist of meditation practice, talk and Q & A. There will be a lunch break around 12-1pm and a few short breaks.

Sharon’s new book, Real Change, is available for purchase here.
