The Insight Center is dedicated to teaching mindfulness meditation to professionals and the general public.

We offer meditation classes, workshops, meditation groups, private consultations, and individual and group psychotherapy.

Our mindfulness meditation classes are taught in a friendly, accessible and non-ritualized fashion that is free of dogma and promotes insight and reflection.

Our classes focus on mindfulness practices and use research and formal teachings to enhance students’ understanding of their own meditative experience.

We present the essence of ancient teachings, research, and response-side therapy to improve the lives of our students and those who receive their care.

The Insight Center is a Continuing Education provider for MFTs, LCSWs, Nurses and Psychologists.
