2025-04-29 Listening for the Silence Beneath Everything 17:03
Gregory Kramer
This short guided meditation with Gregory Kramer invites participants into a spacious silence that supports awareness, curiosity, and presence. The meditation gently encourages letting go of habitual practices and idea to rest in simple awareness. Notice the hum of existence—the subtle energy of body and mind—and how beneath even agitation, words, or thought, there is always silence. The invitation is to listen deeply, beyond noise, toward the ever-present stillness beneath.

Mark Nunberg
The weekly practice groups are designed to be a cornerstone for one's practice by providing ongoing instruction and teachings that will help illuminate the simple but challenging practice of mindfulness. The Buddha taught that mindfulness is the way to go beyond habits of distraction and grasping. To walk this path of wisdom and compassion, we need the support of a community that shares this intention. Each session includes a guided meditation, dharma talk, and discussion. Both experienced and beginning meditators are welcome.

After guidance in developing concentration and mindfulness, we practice in silence. Then there is guidance related to mindfulness of the feeling-tone (the Second Foundation of Mindfulness), particularly the pleasant or the unpleasant (and whether there is reactivity, grasping after the pleasant and pushing away in some way the unpleasant), related to the theme of the talk given after the meditation.

Tara Brach
Our habitual ways of avoiding pain keep us from experiencing intimacy with our inner life and with each other. This short talk and guided meditation offers instruction in saying “yes” to the life we encounter. As we release resistance, we discover the creativity, wisdom and love that express our truest nature (a reflection from the archives).

2024-10-09 Meditation: Disarming Our Hearts 10:53
Tara Brach
Most of us know the suffering of feeling separate from others. In this guided meditation, we explore how we can re-open our hearts by intentionally bringing a caring mindful presence to our own vulnerability, and then extending that presence to include others. When inhabiting that presence, we are able to respond to relational conflict and distance with a growing creativity and love.
Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC

2024-10-02 Meditation: Embodying Acceptance and Care 15:33
Tara Brach

The meditation closes with a verse from poet, Dorothy Hunt, “Peace is this Moment Without Judgment.”

2024-09-25 Guided Meditation: Resting in Knowing 20:57
Tara Brach

This space of awareness is our formless essence. Learning to open and rest into this alert, knowing vastness has the blessings of homecoming.
