私たちについて
Tucson Community Meditation Center (TCMC) is committed to providing a community that nurtures and supports the teaching and continuing practice of meditation and mindfulness in daily life. TCMC provides opportunities for anyone to learn and practice meditation from both local and visiting teachers. We also provide library resources, social events, as well as both residential and non-residential meditation retreats.
We are a non-sectarian organization and anyone with an interest in meditation is welcome. Our weekly classes and monthly retreats typically consist of a guided meditation followed by a talk on a meditation related topic. There is also an opportunity to ask questions.
We have been offering meditation related events in the Tucson community since the 1980's. We are relatively new to Meetup, so we don't always get a large number of RSVP's, however we also get attendees from our website and newsletter.
Most of our events are now meeting in person, but we still have some online events as well.
This group is suitable for both new and experienced meditators.

Kirtan with Infinite Compassion Orchestra
1147 N Howard Blvd, Tucson, AZ, USPlease join us for an evening of music, mantra and community connection.
We are excited to co-sponsor the Kirtan with the Infinite Compassion Orchestra.Kirtan is an ancient practice of Bhakti Yoga — the yoga of devotion, or love. Repeating Sanskrit mantras through music quiets the mind and awakens the heart, offering a meditative path that is joyful, grounding, and deeply connective. The Infinite Compassion Orchestra weaves these mantras with instruments from India, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, creating a soundscape that is both timeless and alive. Come as you are. All voices, all hearts, all minds, are welcome.
Please register on our website as space is limited, and we also get attendees from our newsletter and website.

Meditating in Community

This class is offered in a hybrid format, so you can also choose to attend in-person or from home via Zoom if you prefer. For those meeting in person, we enter the building through the back door, remove our shoes, and meet in the larger meditation hall in the front of the building.
Meditation can help us find more happiness and tranquility in life. The purpose of this class is to create a community of meditators to support each other along the meditative path.
Each class will begin with 30 minutes of guided meditation exploring a wide variety of mindfulness meditation techniques. The guided meditation will have ample periods of silence to deepen your practice. This class, lead by Blake Barton, is suited for beginners through advanced meditators.
Following a short break, there will be a short talk on a meditation or mindfulness related topic. There will then be a period of Q&A and discussion. The discussion will allow for optional check-ins where you will have the opportunity to share your meditation experiences, challenges and wins.
