Mission Statement

OUR MISSION 

InsightLA is dedicated to bringing the deep joy and peace of mindfulness and compassion to people everywhere.

WHAT WE OFFER

Courses, workshops, and retreats for the integration of mind, body, heart and peaceful, happy living. Buddhist wisdom is at the heart of all our contemplative programs. Trudy Goodman is our Founder and Guiding Teacher.

Our commitment is to provide a warm, supportive learning environment, fostering mindfulness and compassion in all our relationships – with ourselves, with others and with our world. We create collaborative alliances in Los Angeles, nationwide, and internationally to open new opportunities for study, practice and service.

HISTORY

InsightLA was founded in 2002 and is supported by philanthropy and program revenues. We have worked with groups as diverse as health care professionals, neuroscientists, artists, actors and studio executives, corporate employees, CEOs, youth and adult prison inmates, families, children, graduate students in business and mental health, and members of the clergy.

InsightLA is affiliated with Spirit Rock Meditation Center, the Center for Religion and Spirituality at Loyola Marymount University, the Pediatric Pain Program at UCLA, the Innerkids Foundation, Center for Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, and the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy.
