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.

Refund and Event Policies

Familiarizing ourselves with sensations in the body is an important aspect of meeting the world with mindfulness, compassion, and joy.

Join InsightLA Facilitator Robin Hart for a reflective and enriching class on the wisdom of the body.

Wisdom of the Body

The body has so much to teach us and mindfulness can unlock that wisdom!  By bringing our awareness to the physical sensations that are happening in the body, we develop our ability to be in the present moment. We will explore expanding our capacity to be with comfort and discomfort, recognize intuition, behavior patterns, and allow for change. As we investigate and learn to be with whatever arises without judgment, we unlock our internal strength and wisdom. In this class, we will use a variety of mindful meditations that use the body as a gateway to develop our physical and emotional well-being. 

Explore:

  • How our body feels during seated meditations, including breath, sound, and body scan meditations
  • The way movement impacts our practice, including walking meditation, gentle movement, and light stretching 
  • How both difficult and joyous emotions manifest in the body

Who is this class for? 

This class is for anyone who would like to deepen mindfulness of the body for a stronger, more trusting and intuitive connection to the wisdom within.

Practices will be adapted for every person’s capability and needs. All are welcome!

Where is this retreat located?
This event will take place in person at the Benedict Canyon Retreat House. Find directions, information on what to bring and more on this link.
