NVIM will begin meeting in-person and on Zoom, following a hybrid model, on Tuesday, March 1st. Full vaccination and masking is required for indoor participation. (See Guidelines below).

The evenings gathering will be led by Debbie Darrin. Debbie has explored various aspects of mindfulness and meditation since the early 1980’s. Vipassana practice and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh originally drew Debbie into the journey of practical, embodied and heartfelt practice. In 2014 she learned about and began attending Napa Valley Insight Meditation sangha and became an active member on the NVIM board in 2017. Debbie regularly attends residential and non-residential insight meditation retreats, continuing to nurture her personal practice and to grow her teaching experience. In 2021 she graduated from the 2-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program developed and offered by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Debbie facilitates weekly mindfulness talks and meditations as well as offering daylong retreats. She believes that the heart practices of lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity play a significant role in balancing, healing and navigating a complex world.

We will be meeting @ 7:00 pm, in the sanctuary at Napa Valley Unitarian Universalist (1625 Salvador Ave, Napa CA).
