We look forward to welcoming you.
The Center for Mindful Living is a sanctuary for us all, offering meditation classes and gatherings, largely online, related to the practice of Buddhism, mindfulness, and community. Drop-in meditation classes are available morning, noon, and evening. Visit our calendar for details and updates. All are warmly welcome to learn, practice, and gather in fellowship here.
The center is a project of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington (IMCW), a vibrant community offering classes online and throughout the metropolitan Washington region.
Founded in 2012 in Washington, DC, at the start of the pandemic in 2020, the Center moved online and has continued to provide classes and gatherings in loving community.
About Dana
In the Buddhist tradition, the teachings are considered so precious as to be priceless. Thus they are given freely, with the opportunity to offer voluntary donations, or dāna. Dāna is the ancient Pali word for “spontaneous generosity of the heart.” Dāna both supports CML and our teachers, and plays a central role in the spiritual life of a dharma practitioner.
New to meditation? Let the teacher know when you arrive, and they will happily orient you, or just come and participate — whatever makes you feel at ease.
