Description

Welcome to the Announcements email list for the Insight Meditation Community of Berkeley (IMCB). IMCB is one of several ongoing meditation classes led by teachers at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Marin County, CA. James Baraz, one of Spirit Rock's co-founders, has led this group since 1980 and also leads the popular Awakening Joy Course. Like Spirit Rock, our class is dedicated to the teachings of the Buddha and the practice of mindful awareness known as insight or vipassana meditation. We meet every Thursday from 7:30 to 9:30 pm to meditate, connect, and to hear and discuss the dharma at:

Berkeley Buddhist Monastery
2304 McKinley Ave (at Bancroft)
Berkeley, CA 94703

The emails you will receive include a description of the topic for the next Thursday meeting, a monthly list of community activities (book club, movie night, hikes, daylongs, planning meetings, etc.), and notices of guest teachers, upcoming dharma events, and opportunities to practice socially-engaged Buddhism in the San Francisco Bay Area. Occasionally, we also post political information, social-action suggestions, and events offered by community members. Currently it is an announcement-only list, and the posters strive not to inundate you with unwanted email.

For those new to insight meditation or who want a refresher, James Baraz offers a six-week introductory meditation class in Berkeley two or three times each year.

There's more information about our community on our website.
