Insight Community of the Desert

Online Weekly Metta Meditation with Ian Challis and Friends
2026-08-14 16:30 - 17:15 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online Zoom Meeting
When the Buddha’s followers felt anxious and afraid, he taught them the practice of metta or lovingkindness meditation. Metta is a form of practice that helps us touch deeply into our own hearts, uncover the energies of kindness and compassion, and share these energies for the benefit of all beings.
If you would like to explore this powerful practice, please join Ian Challis and friends online. These 45-minute meetings will be practice-focused, with most of the time spent in meditation. If you are new to the practice, great! We will learn by doing. After practice, there will be time for questions and sharing.
Cost: Donation basis; there is no charge to participate. Our center and teachers are supported by your generosity. Please give from your ability and heart at desertinsight.org

A Morning of Practice – An *In Person* Half-Day Retreat with Mary Stancavage
2026-02-28 09:15 - 12:00 | Mizell Center, 480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, CA, 92262, United States
With the complex world we live in, taking the time to pause, simplify and get back to basics is important. In this half day retreat, we will stop, breathe and rest in being right where we are.
Please join us as we practice together in community and take a few hours to experience the gift of quiet practice. With our busy lives and the stress of each day, we sometimes let our practice slip away, yet it is so important to maintain, especially right now.
Our morning will be an opportunity to let go and get back to cultivating present-time awareness, and rest in being. There will be sitting and walking meditation, a dharma talk, and a chance to connect in community. Suitable for all.
Location: Mizell Center, 480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262
Reg Fee: $45 covers the cost of the day and support to ICD. No one is turned away for lack of funds.

Meditation and Dharma Talk with Mary Stancavage: Eightfold Path—Wise Concentration—IN-PERSON & ONLINE
2026-02-22 10:30 - 12:00 | Mizell Center, 480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs, CA, 92262, United States
We hope this finds you safe and well and we’re very grateful for your presence and participation in our community.
Please join us this Sunday as we conclude our 8-week Dharma journey exploring the Noble Eightfold Path—the path that leads from suffering toward greater ease with life, and ultimately to complete freedom, Nibbāna.
Together we will explore the Buddha’s teachings on both the why and the how of practice: Wisdom and Intention; Wise Speech, Wise Action, and Wise Livelihood; Energy, Mindfulness, and Concentration. As these qualities are cultivated in lived practice, they support one another, gradually nourishing clarity, integrity, and freedom in the heart and mind.
This Sunday Meditation and Dharma Talk will be held from 10:30 a.m. until noon **In-Person at the Mizell Center** and simultaneously live *Online via Zoom*. Everyone is welcome.
There will be a meditation period, a dharma (teaching) talk and time for your comments and questions.
