“Bustling, lots of energy. Tons of enthusiastic people who love to share ideas. My first time here, but it won't be the last. What a fantastic idea. Thanks to all who make it happen!”
“One of the best urban meditation centers in the vipassana tradition. Kind staff, beautiful building, and welcoming community.
Larry, Narayan, and Michael are incredibly knowledgeable, genuine — and human. Larry Rosenberg was one of my favorite teachers — in any spiritual tradition. He’s that rare combination of incredibly funny and blunt — and genuinely caring.
CIMC offers a variety of programming, from drop-in meditation sessions, to Wednesday evening talks, to affinity programs for various communities — to daylong in-center retreats.
The building housing the center is absolutely gorgeous. It’s traditional and stately — while remaining cozy and welcoming. The surrounding wooden fence and gardens give the impression of being in a Japanese monastery.
Beautiful place and great people. I highly recommend it!”
“Show was amazing, sound was great, and the venue was nice and new. I will say, though, the organization was complete nonsense. The space to get into the theater is narrow, so figuring out which line was for beverages, entry, merch, or exit was pretty chaotic. The staff wasn’t very communicative besides one friendly guy up front. They sell alcohol in the lobby, but apparently you can only bring it inside if you’re at a table, which is a fine rule to have — but maybe mention that before someone spends $20 on beer five minutes before the show starts. We only noticed a small sign to the side afterward, and the bartender’s reaction was simply, “I already rung it up.” So we basically wasted money on drinks we couldn’t have. Luckily, the band was incredible and made up for it, but the experience overall was not smooth.”
“I went to the Holiday feast they had last week on December 23. Every lady got a $50 gift card to either Daily Table or Trader Joe's, a gift bag and there was a ton literally a ton of food. That was my Christmas! Thanks to everybody who put in the hard work to make it the success it was! I think every lady who attended felt special that day.”
“I fully support this amazing haven of kind, caring souls. They are incredible people and I hope you'll consider donating to this small, but mighty place....and generally supporting them in any way you can. You can contact them on their website....they can use all the help they can get! Although this is an uncomfortable issue to openly discuss, these folks handle victims with grace and genuine, loving care. Thank you BARCC for all you do!”
“Can someone please tell me if Peggy Perry still works there. She was so wonderful when I used to be there years ago. Loved this place and seen a picture that reminded me of her is why I ask. Just wanna know if she is ok.”
