RAISE THE ROOF. KEEP IT COOL.

CIMC has launched an important BUILDING FUND campaign to undertake two projects: replacing our roof and the outdated cooling system in our upper meditation hall. Will you help? The campaign runs through July 31st and roof work will begin mid-August. Thank you for your support.

NEW TO MEDITATION?

Ready to try a day-long retreat? Our “Retreat for New Retreatants” is a supportive opportunity for those who have little or no meditation retreat experience to practice for a full day in the company of others who are also new to silent retreats. Our time together will include instructions on how to be on retreat, meditation instructions and guidance as well as a sequence of relatively short sitting and walking meditation sessions. Sunday, August 10th, with Matthew Hepburn. Register here.

SUMMER BREAK

CIMC’s annual summer break will run from Sunday, August 11th through Labor Day. CIMC Members are invited to use the Center for their individual practice from 7:00am to 10:00pm daily, and the staff will be here throughout this time. Fall programs begin on Tuesday, September 3rd.

BENEFACTOR RATE

CIMC is committed to keeping the cost of programs as low as possible. As a result, our current fees take care of less than half of the Center’s expenses each year. When you register for any of our programs we invite you to choose the “Benefactor Rate” which more accurately reflects the true cost of offering the teachings. Doing so supports others in the CIMC community. Thank you for your generosity.

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.
