Practice Groups
Practice groups are a supportive environment for you to maintain and strengthen your practice in community. Most groups are led by InsightLA teachers and facilitators although some are peer-led. There is no experience necessary to attend these groups. They are drop-in and donation-based.
Affinity Groups
We offer an array of affinity groups for community members to connect and practice with others of a shared identity/experience. In the face of adversity, affinity groups provide safe spaces for collective healing, resilience, wisdom, and joy. Current groups include People of Color, queer, transgender, mindful of whiteness, Spanish speakers, young adults, parents, mindful aging, chronic pain and illness, mindful recovery, job loss, suicidal ideation, and healthcare providers' refuge.
NOTE: All events are listed in Pacific time. All events currently held online via Zoom video conferences.
