About BIPOC Sangha

Bi-weekly on Mondays at 7:00 - 8:00 pm ET

check local time

The Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Sangha is a bi-weekly gathering of self-identified BIPOC practitioners who meditate together and explore the teachings of the Buddha in the light of personal experience. 

Each bi-weekly session offers a short talk, guided meditation, and/or a silent sit for 30 - 40 minutes. Some gatherings add a 10 - 15 minute question and response period to help support the practice.

While we understand that many non-BIPOC people may be interested in participating, we ask that they refrain from joining this program which is specifically offered to provide shelter and respite to our BIPOC community.

FAQ

  • Subscription Pricing Model

    We’re introducing a simple subscription model for our sanghas so those who wish to offer financial support for IMS programming have an easy way to do so. Your contribution directly sustains our teachers, our staff, and the ongoing development of IMS Online. As always, the $0 tier remains available so that practice stays accessible to everyone. This subscription fee is separate from teacher dana, which is also greatly appreciated but voluntary.

  • Recordings

    To help create a safe space for the vulnerability that arises in our sanghas and the desire to make these "community-centered," which is more authentically a live experience, recordings will be unavailable.
