About US
Our mission is to provide for the study and practice of Insight (Vipassanā) Meditation according to the Theravāda Buddhist religious tradition and to support and encourage the development of community based upon Buddhist ideals, teachings and practices.
IMFW is entirely supported by voluntary donations that embody the ancient practice of dāna or generosity. The teachings are always offered freely and practitioners are invited to offer support that matches their own financial means, and/or by volunteering time and talents to support the teachers and the upkeep of Sangha House.
Our group is led by Tammy Dyer who graduated from a two and a half year Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders Training Program (CDLP4) in 2012. This program authorizes graduates to teach Dharma and meditation through classes, sitting groups, and daylong retreats and to serve our communities in deepening the Teachings of the Buddha. This authorization is offered in the spirit of the Theravada lineage as it has come into the West.
