Welcome To Our Community Today is:
A further sign of health is that we don't become undone by fear and trembling,
but we take it as a message that it's time to stop struggling and look directly at
what's threatening us.

We are so very pleased that you stopped by to visit our community.
Please be assured you will find open arms and warm hearts welcoming
you here. The Insight Meditation Community of East Central FL is a
community-based urban meditation group here in Ormond Beach Florida
for the practice of Vipassana or Insight meditation. Urban Buddhism is the
practice of being mindful with an investigative intention both on and off the
cushion, in work, family life, relationships and all the other ways we move
through life. With the help of the Buddhist teachings, mindfulness meditation
and our diverse community we learn to create a wise and compassionate space
within ourselves in which to view our inner and outer landscapes with openness
and kindness, to see clearly our true nature and the dharma of the world
around us. Through this practice you can reduce stress, confusion and develop
inner calm. The result is the ability to become more fully present with each
moment of daily life and to develop a compassionate understanding of how
we relate to ourselves and others.
We offer a broad range of practice's and community activities here locally and
through our sister community, the Orlando Insight Meditation Group.
This includes a weekly scheduled meditation session, a Dharma talk (talks on
Meditation, Buddhist teachings and practice) and a group discussion. From time
to time we also offer Buddhist classes, yoga practice and a variety of meditation
and study retreats. This is a non-sectarian, informal group and anyone interested
in meditation or Buddhist teachings is welcome. There is no charge to come and
listen to the teachings or sit with the group but we do ask for donations for
expenses including the building we use. Please feel free to move about the
site and know that you are welcome to come by and sit with us any time.
May we all know the joy of being alive.
