No experience or level of fitness needed - we would love for those 14+ and all walks of life to join as called. This location has both an elevator and stairs! As we cannot offer childcare, please leave little ones at home.

We accept donations via cash and Venmo. In line with the teachers who share the teachings of the Buddha worldwide (and our own!), we are committed to offering these classes 100% by donation as a means of support for the health, happiness, and well-being of our community. As a project, IS:PVD is honored to be the recipient of great generosity - from the cushions to the space, all that we offer for the support of the community has been given by donation. Please support your teachers!

Insight Sangha Providence is an Insight or Vipassana meditation group - commonly referred to as mindfulness. We emphasize developing a relaxed continuity of awareness so your practice can be translatable to all of life, from a formal sitting practice to everyday interactions and relationships, helping you to cultivate greater ease and wellbeing. Our aim is to help you develop and strengthen your inner sense of happiness and inner alignment so you can live your life in a way that is grounded, supportive, and nourishing for yourself and everyone around you.

Absolutely. Meditation is a natural state of mind that anyone who is interested can learn to access. Your practice will meet you exactly where you are, and we can help you navigate that as it grows. We’ll even give some tips to help you figure out what kind of sitting posture works best for you.

Please do! We offer traditional Theravada Buddhist teachings based in the Pali canon and the Satipatthana sutta. If you feel very established in your practice, the energy of sitting in a group once a week can be very supportive for deepening your practice and also introducing a new perspective that you might find helpful along the way. Everything is an offering - take what you need and leave the rest.
