What we’re about
Important Announcement:
Update on Mark as of 6/27/25: We are very happy to report that Mark has completed all of his 33 radiation treatments and as of today, his healing begins! Mark continues to have very significant GI issues and likely will for the next several months. He has lost over 14 pounds and we are hopeful over the next few weeks to start adding back additional foods as his system allows. It will take at least 3 months for Mark to heal enough for any testing to see if he is cancer free.
In light of everything, focusing on his health and with the wise counsel from his doctor and family, Mark will be stepping away from teaching indefinitely. The RIMC website and meetup site, as well as Mark’s website (Marvels of Mindfulness) will remain available as resources.
We are very thankful for all the support, well wishes and loving kindness that has been sent our way. This has helped Mark remain upbeat and in good spirits throughout this difficult period. Be safe, stay healthy and know you will always be loved and deeply appreciated! Hoping all our paths cross again.
Our wish for all of you - When things seem difficult, we wish all of you hope and courage. When things seem chaotic, we wish all of you inner silence and guidance by wisdom. When things seem complicated, we wish all of you simple beauty and clarity. When there is sadness, we wish all of you joy and happiness. When there is illness, we wish all of you peace and protection, with healing supportive hands and health. When there is loneliness, we wish all of you a beacon of love, compassion, and companionship with kindred spirits. Lastly, may the truth guide you, may the truth protect you, and may the truth surround you and all beings with love, kindness and compassion guided by wisdom each and every day for the rest of your life! Be safe, stay healthy and know you will always be loved and deeply appreciated!
No meetings scheduled.
We welcome you to the Roswell Insight Meditation Community! We are a teacher led community dedicated to cultivating greater understanding, compassion, and wisdom, through the teachings of the Buddha. We practice in the tradition of Insight Meditation, or Vipassana, which teaches methods for opening the heart and mind, and seeing more clearly into the true nature of our interconnected existence. We welcome practitioners from diverse spiritual and secular traditions. It is not necessary to become a “Buddhist” to participate in our community, and our tradition emphasizes our shared potential for awakening, rather than following a fixed system of beliefs. Please visit our web site at www.roswellinsightmeditation.org for more information.
