Devin Berry

Cultivating compassion and equanimity

august 1 - 3, 2025

Devin Berry is a Guiding Teacher at Insight Meditation Society and Insight Western Mass, and a visiting teacher at Spirit Rock. He has practiced in the insight tradition since 1999, under the guidance of Larry Yang, Lyn Fine, Joseph Goldstein, Carol Wilson, and Kamala Masters. His teaching is rooted in the classical Dharma, shaped by long-term retreat practice and the heart practices of metta and vipassanā.

Devin has taught widely across the U.S. He spent many years working with youth, including school-based mindfulness, rites of passage, wilderness camp, urban summer camps, and healing-centered programs.

He is also a co-creator of Deep Time Liberation, an ancestral healing journey centered on the impact of ancestral legacy, intergenerational trauma and wisdom on Black Americans. 

He teaches with a grounded, heartfelt style that blends deep Dharma with real-world honesty.
