InsightLA, under the direction of Trudy Goodman, guides the practice of Buddhist meditation individually, in sitting groups, and through retreats in the Los Angeles and Southern California area. We offer a range of programs which include the practice of Insight Meditation, also known as Vipassana in the Buddhist tradition.
Meditation is a process of life-long learning to be mindful, loving, and awake. In the words of the late great Theravadin monk, Nyaponika Thera, "to what a person brings attention, to that does the mind incline." Meditation is a powerful way to incline the heart towards compassion, understanding, and freedom.
InsightLA is a community of caring and engaged practitioners - we welcome beginners and newcomers.
