Who we are.
Edmonton Insight Meditation is an Edmonton-based Buddhist sangha (community) dedicated primarily to the practice of Vipassana (Insight) Meditation. Insight Meditation develops mindfulness and the capacity to see clearly what is happening in each moment in order to live with wisdom, compassion and freedom.
Rooted in early Buddhist teachings, Edmonton Insight Meditation (EIM) creates a space to study the dharma, connect with one another and deepen our practice to benefit ourselves, our communities and all beings.
Our Mandate
EIM is committed to fostering a local sangha of Insight Meditation practitioners to increase understanding of the dharma, develop a strong meditation practice, integrate insights into daily life, and support compassionate action for social justice, equality and a healthy environment. We serve our community by offering regular meditation and dharma study sessions, residential and non-residential meditation retreats and the sharing of resources.
Guiding Principles
At EIM, we are inspired by the Buddhist teachings of generosity, kindness, and compassion, and the wisdom of insight. We believe in the concept of interdependence and are guided by the ethical principles of non-harming. We are dedicated to creating an open, respectful and welcoming practice environment for all, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, or age.
