Based in Portland, Oregon, the Portland Insight Meditation Community is an experiment in American Buddhism.
We welcome all people of every age, ethnicity, cultural heritage, religious background, socio-economic group, ability, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The purpose of PIMC is to improve the lives of participants, their families, and the greater community through meditative practice and a lifestyle that supports liberation from suffering, the awakening of wisdom, and the manifestation of compassion.
