What we’re about
Learn to meditate or join an easygoing and kind group for regular meditation. Come and go as you wish, no commitment or cost – and we are a registered charitable organization.
After meditation, you can stay (or not) for talks/readings/discussions, on a wide range of subjects related to awareness, mindfulness, meditation and Buddhism –we tend to focus on the practical application of wisdom teachings to our actual lives. Total session time is 1hr 15 min.
It's all free, though there is a donation option on our website if you are able to help support us. We also offer programs on topics such as mindful parenting, 'awake at work', basics of Buddhism, and more -- see our website for current offerings.
Our regular meditation and instruction are online on ZOOM now.
You can also check the scheduled events here and on our website www.communitymeditation.net for additional course offerings and talks.

About us:
Community Meditation is a non-profit community online that started in the Toronto area but now has participants from all over North America (particularly Pittsburgh) and occasionally beyond.
Our mission: We bring meditation and mindfulness into people’s lives through courses, meditation sittings and group discussions. By sharing the benefits of mindfulness and awareness, we aim to support the evolution of a wise, caring, and healthy world.
Our network has existed for over 20 years. Our teachers and facilitators include long-time teachers formally trained and authorized within various Buddhist and mindfulness traditions. Our roots are Buddhist, but we draw on many wisdom traditions as well as contemporary psychology and neuroscience. Community Meditation is completely volunteer-based and guided by a council of experienced teachers.
