Insight Chicago Meditation Community is a vipassana meditation organization active in Chicago since 1997. Our practice is based on mindfulness meditation as taught within the tradition of Theravada Buddhism. We offer meditation groups, workshops and meditation retreats throughout the Chicago area.
Full descriptions and registration information for retreats and workshops may be found on our ICMC Events page.
See our Calendar page for all practice opportunities.
From time to time, ICMC is made aware of opportunities offered by other organizations in our area that may be of interest to our community; we post these on the Non-ICMC Events page.
Mindfulness
"Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what's happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what's happening. Stories that get in the way of direct experience. Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self."
