We help people free their hearts and minds from stress and experience the freedom of the Buddha’s awakening through the practice of mindfulness and Buddhist insight meditation.

We practice primarily Mahasati Insight meditation, a type of Vipassana meditation that originated in Southeast Asia

Based on the teaching of the twentieth-century Thai meditation master, Luangpor Teean Jittasubho, Mahasati meditation uses attention to the movement of the body rather than the breath as an anchor to the present moment.
