Saturday Practice & Dhamma Talk: 9 AM Pacific
Our Saturday gathering is the heart of our online practice. This is more than just a Zoom call—it is a rare opportunity to take a
deep dive into the teachings of the Buddha.
We practice half an hour of walking meditation and half an hour of sitting meditation followed by a short Dhamma talk.
If you want a private introduction to meditaiton practice just contact us.

Our History
Founded by our teacher, Ben Heffer, and later continued by Pete Hume, this group
has been a foundational part of our community for many years. What began as a
Saturday gathering has evolved into an ever-present refuge—a place where we can
meet any day, any week, any month, or any year to continue walking the path
together.
Dhamma Study and Discussion
Today, Pete leads the group discussions by offering thoughtful Dhamma talks and
detailed presentations on the fundamentals of Buddhism, as laid out by the
Buddha in the Suttas. Our sessions are rooted in direct practice, ensuring that
study is not just intellectual but deeply experiential.
Explore Our Teachings on YouTube
Last year, Pete recorded a series of talks on the Mahāsatipatipatthāna Sutta, offering an in-depth exploration of mindfulness and
its role in practice. These talks provide a strong sense of what our Saturday discussions are like and how we engage with the
Buddha’s teachings. Click here to find

Welcome to the IIMC Practice Group Room
This is a special place where we come to practice.
You are welcome to join us.
We meet on Saturdays, Weekday Mornings and Wednesday Evenings.
It all started on Saturdays, hence the name, but we found we just couldn’t get enough
and started practicing more and more.
We now use this link for all our meetings.
The important thing to know: it’s all very peaceful around here. People come and go
as they can and the emphasis is on developing our practice. The information is
insightful, and the group is very very casual and welcoming.
