About us
etc: stands for Explore · Try · Connect.
We’re a small community in Seoul that gathers for quiet meditation, tea, and conversation. We meet in Cheongdam to pause from our daily routines and practice paying attention to the present moment.
Our gatherings last about 90 minutes. We switch off our phones and settle in with warm tea. After a brief introduction, we sit in meditation for 20–30 minutes, followed by mindful walking and time to share our experiences.
Beginners are welcome, and no previous meditation experience is needed. This is a non-religious community gathering, open to both Seoul residents and visitors.
I'm Namsoo, the host. I have completed Buddhist studies courses with Jungto Society and practiced mindfulness at Plum Village in France and Thailand.
I'm not a meditation teacher or instructor. I organize these gatherings so we can sit quietly and practice together. There is nothing you need to achieve and no particular outcome to aim for. You’re welcome to simply come and spend some quiet time with us.
Please wear comfortable clothing and arrive a few minutes early so we can begin together. Dates, venue details, and any participation fee will be listed on each event page.
If you are driving, we recommend using the ParkingFriends app to find nearby shared parking spaces.
