Insight Meditation Community of Charlotte (IMCC) offers three separate meditation sessions each week. Meditation instruction begins at 7 pm followed by a silent meditation at 7:30 pm and Dharma Talk at 8 pm on Wednesdays at Park Road Baptist Church  in Milford Chapel and Meditation Hall. Also, via Zoom from noon to 12:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and via Zoom at 7:30 am for 20 minutes on Thursdays. The Wednesday gathering can also be joined via Zoom.

IMCC attests that being a part of a community that is focused on a wholesome activity such as meditation - with folks from all walks of life - is particularly beneficial during stressful times, and fostering a sense of belonging and nurturing the practice of heartfelt inclusiveness.

Daily meditation has been proven to calm the nervous system, help create consistent sleep patterns, increase an ability to focus, and train the “monkey mind” to recognize wholesome states and release harmful or unwholesome states. This tends to foster a sense of respite and deep rest.

IMCC, founded by Joy LiBethe, Ph.D., in 2009 along with a small group of consistent meditators from many backgrounds, now has approximately 60 members. All who are looking for peace of mind and heart are encouraged to consider attending.

Some classes charge a small fee. Meeting location: 3900 Park Rd., Charlotte, NC 28209. For more information, to participate in the online meditations or sign up for their monthly newsletter, visit IMCCharlotte.org.
