What we’re about
This Meetup is for those on a vegan path seeking to deepen their mindfulness through group meditation and discussion without the incongruencies often found in non-vegan mindfulness groups. Through regular meditation practice, our intention is to cultivate greater internal peace and presence, and to bring more mindfulness and compassion to our interactions with the external world and all beings.
We meet every Monday from 6:00 to 6:30 pm Pacific time. We typically start with 15 minutes of silent meditation, followed by 15 minutes of mindful sharing (talking is optional). By the way, all are welcome – vegan, vegan-curious, and vegan-supportive. We hope to see you soon!
See you soon!

See all- Vegan MeditationLink visible for attendees
Please join us online for a peaceful, free half-hour of vegan-oriented meditation and mindful sharing. We’ll meditate together in silence for 15 minutes, then share brief thoughts on a vegan or mindfulness-related topic. Talking during the second half is optional, but we do ask that all participants keep their video cameras on throughout the session to reduce trolling. Please be sure you have Zoom installed and working properly before attending.
No prior experience with meditation is necessary, and meditators of all levels are welcome. While we don't provide instruction in how to meditate, the basics are easy to learn through various online resources such as those here and here.
During the sharing period, our purpose is to discuss veganism and mindfulness. Please try to stay on these topics, be kind to others, and avoid discussing politics. For a full list of weekly discussion topics through April 2024, click here.
NOTE: the meditation will begin promptly, so please arrive on time. When you enter, you will see a meditation timer counting down from 15 minutes - please join and begin meditating.
SECURITY NOTE: to discourage trolling, the Zoom link is not posted until you RSVP, but will be visible in the event navigation bar after you RSVP. We'll also send you the link in a reminder email the day of the event.
