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. If you cancel, we apply a 5% credit processing fee and the refunded amounts are listed below:

In the path of dharma practice we practice connecting to the truth of each moment as experienced in the body and through all the senses. Mysteriously, this can effectively reduce anxiety and confusion and make room for peace and joy.  

The support of the community, teachers and teachings all help you face the challenges of your life and the stress of being alive at this time on our planet. Meditation can help balance your nervous system, moving from fight, flight freeze to rest and digest. This is profoundly healing. Not only do you learn to notice the habit of getting lost in troubled thinking, you practice creating a whole new relationship to your thoughts. 

As you settle into the simple life of retreat, you can move from feeling overwhelmed with worries, grief, and restlessness to feeling steady and grateful. Time in retreat allows you to step away from the demands of everyday life to listen deeply to your body, heart and mind. The purpose of this practice is to turn our attention to what brings true peace and happiness in life while cultivating more resilience, compassion and wisdom, both in responding to suffering in the world and in our own hearts.  Most of the retreat is held in silence, with periods of sitting and walking meditation.  There are teaching talks, guided meditations, and each participant will be in a teacher led practice discussion meeting.

Three healthy vegetarian meals are provided each full day (the first day includes dinner and the final day includes breakfast) for participants and dietary restrictions are accommodated whenever possible.  Retreatants are given guidance to encourage the practice of mindfulness in all the retreat activities, staying with their own present experience as it unfolds, moment to moment.

Dana/Generosity: Teacher compensation is not included in the registration fee. There will be an opportunity at the end of retreat to make a donation to the teachers. Thank you for your support! *note: as of June 2023, we will not be accepting cash and there is not an ATM on site. Credit cards and checks are accepted.
