Manny Mansbach teaches Insight (Vipassana) Meditation in Vermont and elsewhere in New England, and offers counseling and consultation for individuals, couples and organizations.

For my entire adult life, I have been keenly interested in nurturing and facilitating the connections between transformative inner work such as meditation and therapy, relational practices based in skillful communication, development of wholesome community, and nonviolent social transformation.

I hope your meditation practice continues to support you in staying loving, balanced and clear in these extremely challenging times.  I’m STILL cheering you and all beings on!

***A  Weeklong Retreat on powerful land near the Continental Divide in Colorado:

True Belonging: Deep Relationship with Self, Others, and Mother Earth

Aug 31, 2026 – Sep 06, 2026

At Rocky Mountain Eco-Dharma Retreat Center—https://rmerc.org/events/true-belonging-deep-relationship-with-self-others-and-mother-earth/?occurrence=2026-08-31

Leaders: Peter Williams, Manny Mansbach and Karen Waconda

Ongoing Monthly Dharma Groups:

I lead two monthly ongoing Dharma Practice & Support groups—one in-person and one held on zoom—and another group called Aging, Mortality & Dharma. Each of these three groups meet in two 5 to 6-month sessions per year. These groups are a creative blend combining practice, study and sangha in a very supportive atmosphere. There are assigned readings and dharma talks that participants are expected to complete before each session.

Generally, I describe these groups as open to dedicated or aspiring dedicated practitioners. If you are interested in joining one of these groups, or being placed on a waiting list to join, or want more information about one of the groups, please email me at satisukha@gmail.com.

My real dwelling

Has no pillars

And no roof either

So rain cannot soak it

And wind cannot blow it down.
