Insight Timer is a quiet place for contemplation and we want to ensure everyone can enjoy a safe and comfortable experience.

What do I do if someone is not following the community guidelines?

If required please report the user (click 3 dots on a post or the 3 dots on their profile page > "Report this person") and you can also "Remove from Group" (click 3 dots on a post or from the Member list click their name > "Remove from Group")
