Insight meditation is a simple and direct practice: the moment to moment investigation of the mind-body process through calm, open and precise awareness. Learning to observe experience from a place of spacious stillness enables one to relate to life with a balance of wisdom and compassion. This experience fosters clarity and penetrating insight into the nature of who we are and increased peace in our daily lives.
The Memphis Insight Meditation Group was formed to provide a nurturing environment to support the practice of insight meditation (Vipassana) in the Theravada tradition of Buddhism. John Greer teaches two 6-week courses on Insight Meditation in the fall and the spring. This is a course designed primarily for those who are just beginning to meditate, but it will be helpful for experienced meditators who want to learn more about this form of meditation. During each class, there will periods of instruction, as well as meditation practice in a group setting. He has had a regular sitting meditation practice for over 9 years. John is a teacher-trainee of and is being mentored by Matthew Flickstein, an Insight Meditation Teacher.
