What we’re about
The Insight Meditation Community of Bloomington-Normal began in July 2024 to serve people interested in meditation and Buddhism in the Bloomington-Normal area, and Central Illinois.
The Insight Meditation Community of Bloomington-Normal practices mindfulness meditation in the tradition of Insight meditation. Insight meditation is rooted in Theravada Buddhism and is practiced to develop calmness through sustained awareness, investigation, and reflection.
You do not have to identify as a Buddhist to practice this style of meditation or to participate in our sangha and meditation events. People with varying levels of training and experience in meditation attend our activities.
