Welcome Home
IMCW offers a vast array of programs, from drop-in classes to scheduled series, meditation retreats, and sangha gatherings.
We focus on two main areas of learning: core dharma teachings that have endured for 2600 years and contemporary secular mindfulness courses, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC).
Whether you’re a beginner or seeking to go deeper with your practice, start here, start now.
