Welcome to the International Insight Meditation Center (IIMC) in Redmond, Oregon

The International Insight Meditation Center (IIMC) is a non-sectarian Buddhist meditation center dedicated to the study and practice of the Buddha’s teachings. Established in 2015, the center provides a space for both monastics and lay practitioners to engage in meditation, Dhamma study, and community practice. IIMC offers monthly in-person practice sessions at the Redmond temple as well as regular online meditation gatherings. The Saturday online group provides insightful Dhamma talks and in-depth study of the Buddha’s teachings as found in the Suttas. Whether new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, all are welcome to practice online or in person. The center’s mission is to make the profound simplicity of meditation accessible to all.

Community Practice Every Sunday

Each Sunday at 1:00 pm, we come together as a community to share in meditation and the spirit of the Dhamma. Our afternoon includes walking meditation, sitting meditation, and the practice of mettā (loving-kindness), creating a gentle rhythm that supports both inner stillness and heartfelt connection. Practicing side by side, we strengthen not only our own mindfulness but also our community. Everyone is warmly welcome, whether you are new to meditation or an experienced practitioner.

Retreat Weekends at IIMC Redmond - October 18

In a difficult world, we practice peace. These are challenging times. Many people are feeling stressed, unsettled, or worn down by the pace of daily life. Peace Weekend at IIMC Redmond offers a quiet, supportive space to slow down, steady the mind, and cultivate peace. No prior experience is required. Peace Weekends are held monthly on the third weekend of the month and are open to both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Check It Out

For years, keeping our little Sangha connected has been a challenge. Between organizing events, leading practice, and sharing announcements, there hasn't always been enough time to keep everyone informed.

You can see upcoming events, register for retreats, join online practice sessions, explore teachings and resources, and stay informed about what's happening at IIMC. **No Facebook, social media accounts, or app downloads are required.** Sangha Central works right here on our website or directly from your phone. If your phone offers to **add Sangha Central to your home screen or enable notifications**, please consider doing so. Unlike the usual flood of unwanted alerts, our notifications are intended only for useful community updates, such as new events, schedule changes, or weather cancellations. No advertising, no spam—just a simple way to stay connected while respecting everyone's privacy. This is just the beginning! More teachings, study materials, and resources will be added as Sangha Central grows.

Help Get the Temple Ready for Kathina - October 17
