What we’re about

This group is for anyone interested in mindfulness, mindful living and meditation, whether you're new to these or have a longstanding practice. We'll meet periodically to discuss specific mindfulness themes and readings/books, explore various mindfulness practices, share tips and insights, and participate in a guided meditation .

Our goals are to build community around practices that are often quite solitary:

To help DC-area meditators connect with one another
To explore mindfulness and meditation more deeply together in community through practice, discussion, readings, outings and more
To share support, encouragement, tips, insights and resources with one another
To provide regular meetings that help reinforce our mindfulness and meditation practices and build in some accountability for those looking for more regularity and solidity in their practice
To introduce members to various styles of meditation, mindfulness and related practices
