The Founding and Purpose of IMCKC

Founded in 1996 by four of Kansas City’s most influential spiritual leaders, the American Buddhist Center began as a hub for Western-style practice. Today, that legacy continues through its secular division, the Insight Meditation Center of Kansas City (IMCKC), bringing mindfulness to a modern, broader audience.

The Insight Meditation Center of Kansas City strives to be a conscious community where a practitioner may find connection, acceptance, service opportunities and growth through classes and workshops.

DEI Statement: Equity, diversity and inclusion are integral aspects of our living dharma. We are committed to staying mindful and aware of the presence of systemic racism and other prejudicial ‘isms’ in our society and to not perpetuate those patterns.

Indigenous Lands Statement: The Board of Directors and the members of the Insight Meditation Center of Kansas City acknowledge that our corporation operates on Kaw/Kansa indigenous lands in Osage ancestral territory. We honor the people and their traditions by promoting practices that care for the earth, the environment, and all sentient beings.
