Reopening
We look forward to being back in the Center and are eager to sit together in community. Here is the current status:
The Meditation Center is closed to onsite events effective July 31, 2021.
Reopening In-person Restrictions
To protect Sangha members chairs have been arranged to observe social distancing. The windows will be open and the overhead fans in operation, so be prepared for chilly temperatures. Masks are required. If you are sick or running a temperature, please stay home and join us via Zoom.
In-person sits and classes will be gradually added over time. We will update in-person restrictions after considering new advice from local authorities and the CDC
Onsite events will be simultaneously offered as online Zoom events. See the calendar entry to find the Join Online button or set the Location filter on any of the calendar listings to ‘Online’.
Zoom Operators needed
Not all sangha members are able to attend onsite. Insight Santa Cruz has been fortunate to have continued uninterrupted during the worst of the pandemic by offering online access. We are now committed to address the ongoing needs of both onsite and online members. This presents a challenge for ISC to return some events back to the Meditation Center. Onsite volunteers are needed to assist in making the Zoom session a quality experience for remote members. Please think of volunteering as a Zoom Operator for any of the sits you are interested in and contact the volunteer coordinator. Our online community will be thankful.

How to find onsite events?
