London Insight Meditation (LIM) is a small independent charity that promotes insight meditation, plus related practices, values and teachings from the Buddhist tradition.
We aim to ensure that teaching is readily accessible in London; to support the efforts of Londoners at every stage of the path to understand mindfulness, meditation and related practices and realise them in their own lives; and, through our activities, to foster the growth of the community of Londoners who are inspired by and benefit from these teachings..
We aim to present insight meditation and related teachings in a manner that is accessible to western practitioners, while preserving their full depth. To this end Buddhist ritual and imagery usually play little part in our events. We do however value our links with more traditional Buddhist institutions, such as Amaravati and Satipanya.
Our events are led by an exceptional group of teachers from the insight meditation tradition through our relationship with Gaia House where many of our teachers are based.
We whole-heartedly welcome all, irrespective of religious or political belief, gender, sexuality, age, class, ethnicity, nationality or disability. Our hope for the future is to develop an increasingly varied programme of events appropriate to people of all backgrounds.
We warmly welcome people of all spiritual traditions or none and we do not seek to convert. We are pleased if participants in our events find in insight meditation a way to a deeper engagement with their own tradition.
