Alternating peer facilitators, the loose format of our meetings is as follows: introductions and sharing how “we are arriving”; practice; discussion; closing thoughts.

The BIPOC Affinity Group meets 1st & 3rd Fridays, 5:30-7pm ET, in person (hybrid by request).
We welcome anyone living with chronic illness/pain and/or disability. Our group includes people with a wide range of physical, emotional, and/or mental health challenges. Together we take time to practice, share, give support (no advice unless asked), and reflect on the Dharma. How does the Dharma help us navigate the sorrows and joys of living with illness, pain, and/or disability? What is the difference between compassion and pity? How do we discern right action and right speech for us as individuals and as a collective society? We share our experiences, compassion, and wisdom, supporting people where they are at in their lives and practice. For more information write to: leadership@insightwma.org.
The Chronic Illness/Disability Affinity Group meets 3rd Thursdays, 6:30-8pm ET, via Zoom.
The Queer & Trans Affinity Group meets 2nd Tuesdays & 4th Thursdays, 7:15-8:45pm ET, usually in person/hybrid (check calendar for updates).
