"InsightLA Meditation has been offering high-quality mindfulness and compassion practices throughout the Greater Los Angeles area and now ONLINE for almost 20 years. Mindfulness is an intentional connection with the present moment that changes how we relate to ourselves, to others and the world. We offer mindfulness classes, retreats and special events that cater to both beginning meditators and those who are looking to deepen and sustain their practice."

"We strive to make mindfulness practices accessible to all communities with the intention to be inclusive across race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, gender identity, religion, body size, ability, age, and class. We hold a firm policy that no one will be turned away for lack of funds."
