CULTIVATE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE

Join TUERE SALA for a four-week online practice group Building Resilience from the Four Brahmaviharas starting Thursday, July 7 (11:00am-12:30pm ET). The challenges of the world and the onslaught of bad news may leave us feeling anxiety, overwhelm, worry or the urge to withdraw. It is vital that we cultivate the inner strength and resilience to steady ourselves in the face of the instability of life.

WORKING WITH DIFFICULT EMOTIONS

Join NARAYAN HELEN LIEBENSON for an opportunity to discover your capacity to befriend and understand the true nature of emotions. Over the course of five weeks, we will practice turning problems into wisdom as we cultivate a more joyful and compassionate way to live. Working with Difficult Emotions (online) Tuesday evenings starting July 12.

BEGINNERS DROP-IN

We welcome you back to our meditation hall in Cambridge twice a month for Tuesday Beginners Drop-In. Every first and third Tuesday will be in person at the Center from 6:00-7:00pm. All other Tuesdays will be held online on Zoom. We invite you to join us! Our current Covid-safety requirements for in-person programs can be viewed here. We currently require proof of vaccination to be shown at the door, and masks while in our building.

The Cambridge Insight Meditation Center is dedicated to creating a space that welcomes all people regardless of cultural and religious background, race, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, education, and physical ability. Financial support for our programs is available to all.

As Guiding Teachers, we are committed to offering the essence of the Buddha's message of liberation and it is our intention to apply these teachings to every aspect of daily life. We recognize that for many people, everyday life means being subject to social injustice on a regular basis. As a community and institution, we are committed to the freedom—both inner and outer—of all beings. Hopefully, CIMC and the Buddha's teachings can contribute in a small way to the necessary changes that will facilitate social justice.

May we all cultivate wisdom and compassion and recognize the interdependence of all beings everywhere.
