Bringing the Practice to Life - Thursdays is a weekly drop-in group that focuses on bringing our Buddhist practice fully into our lives. We will meditate together, listen to Dharma teaching, and share the lived experience of our practice. Six Week Grief Group - Thursdays is open to anyone touched by loss of any kind, whether the loss occurred recently or in the distant past.
We will explore how the refuges of the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha can support us to meet grief with compassion and wise understanding.

Services
The governance of Insight Santa Cruz is coordinated by a Board of Directors. We conduct our business through consensus, encouraging diverse points of view, and seek the "middle way" between structure and non-structure as we make organizational decisions. A board member's term typically lasts three years.
Dhamma Friends groups host sits, classes, and events that address specific interests and build community among Insight Santa Cruz sangha members. These are peer-led programs, and all sangha members and their friends are welcome. If you have a topic you'd like to explore or an activity you'd like to share with others, consider organizing a new Dhamma Friends group by submitting a Dhamma Friends Event Request.
