Come Relax and Meditate with Us!

We are an open, friendly, non-sectarian, non-stuffy group of people who meditate together -- and support one another.

When it comes to moving along on the spiritual path, it's not easy to go it alone. We all need support. And our high group energy gives lots of that support.

Our teachers, Merrill and Tamaji, are also there to encourage and assist us. They also offer instruction to beginners, so they can comfortably explore the field for themselves, see if meditation enhances their lives as much as it does ours.

As for instruction, our meditation teachings are simple and practical. We start beginners by showing them how easy it is to relax profoundly, rather than merely relaxing temporarily or superficially. For those who want more, then, we provide personalized meditation tools that deepen and expand inner peace and, ultimately, lead in the direction of complete Self-realization. What could be bad about that?

Anyone is invited to visit one of our support group meetings. There is never any charge.

When? We have a meeting every Wednesday evening at 7:30 and every Saturday afternoon at 2 pm -- except for the first Saturday of every month, when we meet at 5 pm, and most of us then stay on for an informal potluck dinner.

Members can come to any or all of the meetings -- no advance notice is necessary. Did I mention we were accepting?

Our group includes people of all faiths -- and no faith. We are flexible, informal and, not infrequently, just plain silly. We've been meeting for some time before Meetup began, so we already have about 50 active members, a dozen or so of whom show up at any individual meeting.

Note: Meetup will often show only 1-2 people saying they plan to attend a meeting. That's because of the dozen or so who usually attend, only 1-2 are members of Meetup. The rest have been meditating with us for years, long before we listed our group with Meetup.

Exploratory visits and inquiries more than welcome! Merrill's wife, Tamaji is the contact person for questions and for confirming the time and place of meetings. She's usually home. Call her anytime, perhaps just to get acquainted. Her number: 914-946-5334.
