Refund and Event Policies

The corona virus is present for all of us, seeping into every aspect of our lives — our thoughts, our dreams.  Let’s use the strength of our community and practice to provide a container for our fears and worries and find our way together through this period of deep uncertainty and unease.
 
A group of InsightLA teachers and facilitators are hosting the weekly Tuesday 6:00 pm sit as a place to practice together as a community.  Every Tuesday evening we will offer meditation and brief sharing so that we have a way, week by week, to support each other in facing what’s real and with each finding their way forward.
