About us
Welcome to the Davis Meditation & Mindfulness Community.
This group is for anyone in the Davis area interested in meditation, mindfulness, contemplative practice, and authentic community—whether you are completely new to meditation or have an established practice.
We gather to explore practices that help cultivate awareness, presence, compassion, and connection in everyday life. Events may include guided meditation, silent sitting, walking meditation, contemplative discussion, retreats, movement practices, and talks by experienced practitioners and teachers.
Most gatherings are hosted at the Davis Shambhala Meditation Center, a volunteer-run meditation center in downtown Davis, though some events may be offered online or at other local venues.
You do not need to identify with any particular religion, lineage, or tradition to participate. Beginners are warmly welcome.
Come as you are—whether you are seeking stillness, curiosity, community, or simply a place to pause and reconnect.
