About us
The Consciousness Explorers Club is a meditation community committed to pluralism in practice. All levels of meditators are welcome from absolute beginners to graduated monks! We support personal growth and life activism through weekly Monday night sits and social practices, courses, retreats and parties, no doubt. We take insights and practices from culture and science and integrate them in playful and experimental ways with wisdom from the world’s contemplative traditions, in particular Buddhism and mindfulness. We do this as a community and try to empower everyone in the community to come up with their own insights and service missions, to share their various neurotic life strategies, so we can laugh uproariously at them together, in a spirit of dumbfounded incredulity. As good explorers, we don’t push world views – we investigate them. Our ambition is global; our community is local. We sit, we dance, we act. We fall asleep during long lectures. We wake up refreshed!

Weekly Monday night community meditation
St Stephen-in-the-Fields, 365 College Street (near Kensington Market), Toronto, ON, CAWeekly Monday night online meditations in a welcoming community
35-minutes of sitting meditation practice followed by interactive sharing, discussion
We experiment with different solo meditations, from restful absorption to creative visualizations, mindfulness-style noting (of various mind-body components), loving-kindness, sound meditations, choiceless awareness and many others. You don’t need to follow any of these techniques if you don’t want to – some people prefer to stay with their tried-and-true regular practice.
The CEC is passionately nonsectarian – both humanistic and contemplative traditions are represented.
