Insight Meditation Community of Western Massachusetts is a non-residential community meditation center. Its mission is to offer the Buddha’s teachings to all who are interested, to help sustain and deepen meditation practice and to bring wisdom and compassion into daily life.

IWM is dedicated to being a welcoming community to all. We are firmly committed to welcoming diversity of race, class, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender identity, cultural and religious background, and ability within our midst, so that all might feel included and respected in practicing here.

We are committed to making the dharma accessible to all. No one will be turned away for inability to donate, with the possible exception of residential retreats, depending on the amount of scholarship funds available and demand.
