Mindfulness meditation, also known as insight meditation or vipassana, is a simple technique that concentrates and calms the mind. At the heart of mindfulness meditation is the practice of moment-to-moment observation which cultivates a clear, stable and non-judgmental awareness. While mindfulness practice can be highly effective in helping bring calm and clarity to the pressures of daily life, it is also a spiritual path that gradually dissolves the barriers to the full development of our wisdom and compassion.

During this introductory course, the basic instructions in mindfulness meditation will be given sequentially, starting with a focus on mindfulness of breathing, followed by mindfulness of the body, emotions, thinking, and the application of mindfulness in daily life. 

The program is offered freely, with no registration needed. If you’d like to donate to the teacher or the center, you can visit IMC’s donation page here.

In-person at IMC
Offered by Tanya Wiser and Shelley Gault
Registration required. Visit this link.

In this retreat, Shelley and Tanya will offer teachings on cultivating sati—mindful awareness—through the lens of the physical body and with the support of a caring heart. Participants will be guided in developing their capacity to know and sense physical experience directly, and to calm the body and mind. These natural human capacities support the unfolding of clarity, open-heartedness, and ease in meditative awareness.
