About us
NewFriendsMKE has been bringing people together in the Milwaukee area for over 10 years. With more than 1,000 events hosted, our goal has always been simple: to create fun, welcoming opportunities for people to meet each other, make friends, and try new things.
We host a wide variety of events, including game nights, hiking, volleyball, meet-and-greets, festivals, and other social activities around the city.
All NewFriendsMKE events are free to attend. Whether you’re new to Milwaukee, looking to expand your social circle, or just want something fun to do, this group is a great place to connect with others in a relaxed and friendly setting.
Everyone is welcome. Come join us, try an event, and meet some new friends in MKE!

Sunday Meditation with Shambhala Center at Humboldt Park + Possible Social After
HUMBOLDT PARK, 3000 S HOWELL AVE, Milwaukee, WI, USIf you were to ask my family, friends, or students to describe me, the word “Zen,” or any adjective close to it, would probably not come up.
So, to help relax my mind, I recently started going to the Milwaukee Shambhala Center. It has been a process for me, but I am starting to see some benefits.
One cool twice-monthly event the center hosts is called Summer Sit in the Park, where people meet as a group and practice meditation. These events are open to everyone. As they describe it: “Whether you're a beginner or a longtime practitioner, all are welcome.”
So let’s go to one as a group on Sunday, July 12 at Humboldt Park.
The session starts at 12:00 noon with directions, a short reading, and meditation, so let’s plan to meet a little earlier at 11:45 AM.
Depending on the number of people who sign up, I have some ideas for a nearby place where we can meet socially afterward, but I can figure that out as the event gets closer.
For now, just sign up here, and I will let the meditation leader know how many people to expect.
Message below or text me with any questions. Note: You probably want to bring a blanket, pillow, or chair (many people prefer to sit for flexibility reasons).
Hope to see you there!
