Greetings
Insight Meditation of Ventura
Anchored in Theravada Buddhism, we are an inclusive community of dedicated practitioners
who have come together to support each other in integrating a full range of Buddhist
contemplative and meditative practices in our day-to-day lives.
All Are Welcome
Grounded in kindness
and generosity, everything is freely given in gratitude to those who have kept the teachings
alive and available all these many centuries.
Dharma Talks
We offer
Dharma talks every Wednesday at 7:00
p.m. Beginners to advanced meditators are welcome. The atmosphere is
accepting, free of ritual, informal and relaxed.
Each Dharma talk is preceded by thirty-minutes of meditation. Instruction is regularly
given on a range of meditation objects. These include mindfulness of the
breath, body sweeping, working with the four foundations of mindfulness, the
jhanas, the four Brahma Viharas, and Vipassana's choiceless awareness.
Dharma talks are followed by group discussion and sharing. Questions about
meditation are addressed.
If you are brand new to
meditation, please let us know you are coming. We will meet with you a few
minutes beforehand and provide preliminary instruction.
There is no charge for the Dharma talks. They are offered on a dana (donation) basis.
We're moved! Insight Meditation now meets
at Unity Church in Downtown Ventura.
700 E. Main Street, at the corner of Main and Fir Streets.
Two blocks East of California Street.
Offstreet parking is available (Enter alley off Fir Street).
Same day and time - Wednesdays at 7PM.
