About Arinna Weisman
Arinna has been studying insight meditation since 1979 and teaching since 1989. Her root teacher is Ruth Denison, who was empowered to teach by meditation master U Ba Khin.
Arinna founded the Insight Meditation Center of Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts and, with Eric Kolvig, was the first to lead insight meditation retreats for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, gender-queer community.
She is co-author of the book A Beginners Guide to Insight Meditation and a contributor to Women Practicing Buddhism: American Experiences, edited by Peter Gregory and Susanne Mrozik.
Her practice and teachings are infused with her political and environmental activism. She leads "Uncovering the Heart" retreats which integrate the awareness of the social dynamics of inequity with the dharma practice of liberation.

Lotus Insight Sangha: Returning to Our True Refuge, 5-day hybrid retreat at Camp Samish, Bow, Washington, with Arinna Weisman and Ian Challis, March 2025
Dharma talk on enlightenment by Arinna Weisman:
"In the present — moment to moment — we begin the healing process of disentangling, of dismembering, of dismantling again and again those energies [that harm], so that they become less and less of a force in our lives. And so, it's said that the simple description of this path is: don't cling to anything, don't hate anything. That is the path. Because when they're not present, the mind is freed, the heart is freed."
