In addition to our regular online meetings, we also hold  in-person meditation meetings on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m., at All Saints Episcopal Church, 1322 Kimball Avenue in Richland. We meditate for half an hour, followed by an optional time for sharing and conversation after meditation. No problem if you want to just meditate and then leave.

Chairs are available in the meeting hall. However, if you prefer to use your own chair, blanket, cushion or bench, you are welcome to bring it. The meetings have recently moved indoors and meet in the Parish Hall at the rear of the church.
Those who regularly attend the in-person meetings have developed a masking policy for the time we are meeting indoors.  The community levels of covid will be checked each time we publish the newsletter.  When community levels are low; masks will be optional.  When community levels are medium or high, masks will be required.
Currently, the covid community levels are low in Benton County so masks are optional.
However,please bring a mask to all in-person meditation sessions in case there is an attending member with greater vulnerability.  If there is an attending member that feels more comfortable with everyone masking, we will all mask in support of the most vulnerable among us.

The Covid Community levels are posted on the following website: BFHD

Our Wednesday morning online meeting is available as well if you are out of town or just don't wish to meet in person at this time. The online meeting also starts at 9:30 a.m. See the Events Calendar for details on how to join in.

September 11, 2026

Keri Pederson, Senior Teacher at Seattle Insight Meditation Society (SIMS), will offer a talk and meditation on Friday, September 11, from 7:00 - 8:30 pm.

She will also offer a retreat the following day, September 12, from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm.

Keri will be assisted by Temira Lital, a Local Dharma Leader with SIMS.

Registration is now open for the retreat. To register for the retreat, please send an email to the following email address: registrar@insightmeditationmc.org. We’ve found out that some people mailing to that email address receive an error message that their email was returned. In fact, the emails are received intact, so please ignore the error message. We’ll try to confirm that your email was received and that you’re registered within 24 hours.

The title of the retreat is "Dropping the Burden, Stopping the Fight".

In Friday evening’s talk and Saturday’s daylong retreat we will gather in community (sangha) to explore perspectives and experiential teachings from the early Buddhist tradition that speak to some of these questions. We’ll take a look at the ‘mind at normalcy’ (Upasika Kee), awareness becoming natural (Sayadaw U Tejaniya), and dwelling in non-contention with experience (Ajahn Amaro), and see what we find for ourselves.

In meditation practice and in life, we are often aware of how an attitude of striving and overdoing is not helpful, and yet it can be difficult to release. Steeped in a culture that values productivity and the optimizing of everything, we find here that our own efforts thwart us. Where is the ease, relaxation, and peace that we read so much about? We can hear ourselves arguing with the moment, with our own minds, with experience itself. Might there be a way, as the teachings point out — to make steady effort without perpetuating stress, to be dedicated to something without ongoing strain, and to engage in the world without it being a fight?
