This community was formed in 2014 to meet the need for a vipassana, or Insight Meditation practice group on the South Shore of Long Island. The group’s focus is to practice meditation following the traditional practices and teachings of Buddhism. Our guiding values are lovingkindness, compassion, respect, sincerity and gratitude. We recognize that the path of meditation unfolds differently for each person. We respect and honor individual search and cherish the support of community each step of the way. We hold regular, weekly meditation sessions and twice yearly organize day-long retreats to deepen our practice and cultivate wise understanding. This group is open to all. You need only show up and take your seat. Following the Covid-19 pandemic, our group moved to an online format. We continue to offer participation in regular weekly practice both in person and through Zoom.
