Insight Meditation

During the warmer months, some of the Wednesday night sits of the Salt Spring Insight Meditation group will be held outside on the deck at the home of one of the group leaders (a central location near Cusheon Lake).

Please ensure you are on the mailing list to receive notice of where the in-person sit will be held each week. You can ask to be on the list by emailing: saltspringimc@gmail.com. You can also join the Salt Spring Insight Meditation Facebook group.

Salt Spring Insight Meditation Community is a community of new and experienced meditators dedicated to cultivating happiness and well-being through exploring and practicing the teachings of the Buddha, in both meditation and compassionate action.

We seek to live our lives with mindful awareness, opening our hearts to joy and to suffering, in order to live with the freedom of kindness, clarity and wisdom. We follow the tradition of Theravada Buddhism, as practiced in Burma, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, but also find support within the Zen and Tibetan traditions. Popular Theravadan teachers in North America include Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg.

This is an open group. Everyone who attends is a valued member with a place in our community. People with all levels of meditation experience (or none) are invited to attend any of our offerings.
