Friday classes are held in Redwood City, CA at Insight Meditation Center, a serene, spacious, comfortable dharma center with street parking and outdoor seating for the lunch break. The center is located about thirty miles south of San Francisco and is a twenty-minute drive from San Francisco Airport. The address is 108 Birch Street, a map is below. Directions can be found on their website here.
Participants are encouraged to arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to park and to settle into the peacefulness of Insight Meditation Center. Meditation cushions are available. As there is no food service on the premises, most people bring a bag lunch.
In case of a surge in the pandemic, our workshops will temporarily transition to be online.
