About us
CityZen is a welcoming young adult community (ages 18–35) proudly affiliated with the Buddhist Society of Victoria.
Whether you are completely new to Buddhism or have been practicing for years, you are invited to explore, learn, and connect with like-minded peers on the path toward inner peace and compassion.
Our Community & History
While we have recently launched this Meetup group to give even more people the opportunity to connect, our community has been going strong for a long time! Founded in 2016, CityZen has a rich history of hosting events across Melbourne—from hiking adventures like the Viriya Walk and visits to the Newbury Monastery, to inspiring Dhamma talks and silent retreats.
What We Do
We focus on applying Buddhist wisdom and mindfulness to our everyday lives. Our activities are highly diverse, ensuring there is always a new way to cultivate meaningful friendships within our supportive network:
- Dhamma Study & Meditation: Study the teachings, practice meditation together, and learn how to apply mindfulness to your daily routine.
- Social Gatherings: Connect in a fun, relaxed environment through varied events like casual catch-ups and community movie nights.
- Community Volunteering: Practice kindness and give back to the local community with hands-on activities, such as our working bees and gardening days.
- Adventures & Retreats: Step outside with us for hiking trips, nature walks, peaceful retreats, and even camping next to a monastery!
Let's support each other on our spiritual journey!
