Refund and Event Policies

Join us this Saturday – 11/5 @10:00am-12:00pm (PT) – for a special event celebrating the beginning of National Gratitude Month (November) as we welcome multi-award-winning British composer, music producer and songwriter Peter Raeburn as he shares his new album about deep suffering, recovery, and hope.

Peter will play several songs, discuss the importance of connection and awareness, and be in conversation with our InsightLA community. All are welcome!

We come together to meditate and talk about supporting the people in our lives (including ourselves) who may be struggling with deep suffering, grief, hopelessness, helplessness, disconnection, mental health/health challenges, and/or suicidal thoughts.

We will discuss – and practice – the importance of connection, community, and compassion.

There will be a 15-20 minute guided meditation and teaching (recorded), and time for conversation, discussion, and questions (not recorded).

Suggested Donation: $10

As always, if you are considering giving up or if you know someone who might be at risk for suicide, please call 800-273-TALK (8255) or dial 988 and visit: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/

Since April 2020, the H.O.PE. Group has been a refuge and sanctuary for those of us who feel lost at times, without judgement, shame, or pressure. We meet every Saturday from 10:00-11:30am (PT) over zoom. For more information visit: https://insightla.org/event/deepsuffering

“The opposite of deep suffering is not just the absence of suffering. The opposite of deep suffering is connection.”
