Thursdays, 6:15pm in-person
Sundays, 6pm online
There are two opportunities per week to join the Heart Insight Group. On Thursday evenings in-person at Mindful Psychology in Woollongabba and Sunday evenings online. On the fourth Sunday each month the online group starts at 7pm for a discussion of a sutta from the Pali Canon. Please sign up to the mailing list or visit the HI facebook group for the Zoom login details.
Details of the various meeting are in the Heart Insight calendar.
Developing a meditation practice is so much easier with the support of a group. Every Thursday and Sunday evenings join us as we explore the liberating insights and practices taught by the Buddha.
Cost is by donation. The teachings are considered beyond a monetary value so instead the tradition of dana (generosity) is practiced. Those that wish to support the continuation of the group and the teacher’s offerings, can do so via donation boxes on the night.
Saturday Silent Retreat
The Heart Insight Meditation group is delighted to advise that we are running full days of silent meditation on the first Saturday of each month, at the Quaker Meeting House, 10 Hampson Street, Kelvin Grove.
More details: Heart Insight Saturday Retreat info, and program.
Please see the Heart Insight calendar for dates.

In these times of uncertainty and unrest in the world, we have the opportunity to come together and meditate to show our support for world peace. If this space provides solace for our aching hearts, it has done something. If it is a very small part of a growing cry for humanity to move beyond the greed, hatred and delusion that binds us to war and unkindness to our fellow humans then it has served a wider good. It seems like a small thing, but as the Buddha said “drop by drop the bucket is filled by good intention”.
Please join us online, the second Sunday every month from 6pm-7pm (Brisbane time). We will meditate together in support of world peace, holding vigil for our brothers and sisters effected by war.
