Chattanooga Insight Meditation Community

Dear Sangha,

The Chattanooga Insight Meditation Community (CIMC) will be closing at the end of December.

Since its founding, CIMC has been supported by the dedication, generosity, and practice of its sangha. We are deeply grateful to all who participated in and sustained this community through their presence, service, and commitment to the Dharma.

As this organization comes to a close, we recognize that while this particular form is ending, the benefits of practice, generosity, and shared intention continue beyond this moment. We trust that what has been cultivated together will carry forward in ways that support continued practice and well-being.

Thank you for being part of CIMC.

With gratitude,
Chattanooga Insight Meditation Community

Dear Sangha,

In attending to the rhythms of the dharma, we remember that all things arise and pass, and that periods of activity are naturally followed by periods of stillness. Just as the body requires rest, the heart of a community requires moments of pause to restore clarity and ease.

With this understanding, we wish to share that our dharma center will be entering a time of rest and will be closed for the month of December. This period of quietude will allow those who have carried the responsibilities of practice, teaching, and care to replenish their energy and return with renewed steadiness.

We offer this decision with deep appreciation for each of you. Your presence and your practice have shaped these early months in ways that continue to nourish the whole sangha. We trust that this time of rest will support the long-term well-being of our community and the integrity of the teachings we aspire to uphold.

We will share updates as the time to reopen approaches. Until then, may this period be one of renewal for all of us, grounded in the wisdom that cares for body, mind, and community alike.

With gratitude and blessings,

The CIMC Team
