Hawai'i Insight Meditation Center - Vision

The Hawai'i Insight Meditation Center (HIMC) is envisioned as a retreat hermitage and refuge; a place designed on an intimate scale and serving as a gathering place for contemplative practice away from the hectic turmoil of modern society.

Making the Vision Real
Just as we cultivate a mind that is integrated and balanced, so we intend to build a center that reflects the same values: One that blends into the natural surroundings of the beauty of our land in Hawai'i, and consumes resources modestly with gratitude and respect, like a monk or nun on alms rounds; A place where the basic material needs of life are easily met, freeing as much energy as possible to travel the path of insight and open-heartedness; designed from simple beauty that uplifts the mind and inspires the spirit.
