ANNOUNCEMENTS

DAILY EVENING SITS

On weekday evenings CIMC offers a drop-in practice opportunity that is open to everyone: a 45-minute long meditation sit led by CIMC volunteer Practice Leaders.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 6:00-6:45pm

Wednesday: 6:30-7:15pm

No registration required.

CIMC OPEN HOUSE

Join us at the Center for an Open House Sunday, October 29 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. Learn about the Center, chat with staff and community members, and if you are new to the Center, get a tour of the building. Our doors will open at 1:00 pm and you are welcome to stop by any time. Snacks and beverages will be provided. This event is freely offered, and an RSVP to help our planning is optional. 

DHARMA IN DAILY LIFE

Join Narayan Helen Liebenson and the CIMC community for Dharma in Daily Life (online), weekdays from 8:45-9:00 am. A brief sit, Dharma reflections, and a “practice for the day” support you to live each day in a more connected, wise, generous, and loving way. Join here.

A Welcoming Community

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.
