About us
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!

Vegan Meditation
·OnlineOnlinePlease join us online for a peaceful 45 minutes of vegan-oriented meditation and mindful sharing. We’ll meditate together in silence for 15 minutes, then share brief thoughts on a topic related to compassion, mindfulness or veganism. Our aim through this practice is to cultivate greater internal peace and presence, and to bring greater mindfulness and compassion to our interactions with the external world and all its inhabitants.
We meet the first and third Monday of each month at 6pm Pacific / 7pm MT / 8pm CT / 9pm ET. Please note that while our route to mindfulness and compassion generally follows a vegan path, all are welcome – vegan, vegan-curious, and vegan-supportive. For our annual schedule and weekly discussion topics, click here.
Vegan Meditation is affiliated with the Compassion Consortium.
Please note these important details:
- As a security precaution, you must be signed in to a Zoom account to join the meeting. Zoom accounts are free at https://www.zoom.us/ (click signup) and you'll need to log in there BEFORE joining the meditation. If this is your first time, please register at that link in advance because doing so takes a few minutes.
- Please use a computer or tablet, as some Zoom features don’t work on a phone, and phones in general don't work well for our Zoom Meetups.
- Talking during the discussion is completely optional, but to help reduce trolling we ask that all participants keep their webcams on (and stay on webcam) during the entire session.
- Meditation begins promptly on the hour, so please arrive on time. When you enter, you'll see a meditation timer counting down from 15 minutes – that's your cue to begin meditating silently (or listen to your own guided meditation). We don't provide meditation instruction, but the basics are easy to learn through various online resources such as those here and here.
- While we officially end at the 45-minute mark, depending on the number of people sharing, we may run later. If that happens, please feel free to stay or leave at any time as you choose.
- The Zoom link will be displayed on the Meetup event page after you RSVP. We'll also send the Zoom link and discussion topic in a reminder email the day of the event. If you'd like to receive this reminder email, please keep your Meetup notification settings turned on.

Friends, for previous events we’ve occasionally had challenges with last-minute cancellations. We completely understand—life happens, illness strikes, plans shift. However, because our resources are limited, we typically purchase ingredients, prepare space, and invest time and funds several days before each event.When guests cancel at the last minute, the event can shift from supporting our mission to placing added strain on it.
If at all possible, we kindly ask guests to avoid last-minute cancellations. Thank you sincerely for helping us make these evenings sustainable for the sanctuary and for our rescued residents.2 attendees
