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 including meditation 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.
You can also check the scheduled events here and on our website www.communitymeditation.net for additional course offerings and talks.

Thursday's session. After meditation, our topic this week will be: We'll continue reading and discussion "Meditations for Mortals".

There's no need to be familiar with the book. This session is open to all.
