New to the art of sitting still? Looking to mix up your meditation routine? Then join us for a group meditation.

Meeting at the Innerwork Center
Since it's too cold and wet to be outside on Sunday morning, we will be downstairs at the Innerwork Center in the main room. We have plenty of cushions and chairs, but feel free to bring anything for your comfort.

How to find us
Come to 213 Roseneath Road. Park on the street or in the free lot at the end of the alley. Come in through the front door on Roseneath. We will be in the big room to the right. Please leave your shoes in the hall.

What kind of meditation will we be doing?
We usually sit in silence for 25 minutes. If you are new to meditation, let us know. We can answer questions or give a guided meditation.

Then we open up for discussion, which can be about the meditation we just had, experiences during the week, our meditation practices, or anything that comes up that's related to practice or waking up in life. It's not unusual for there to be long pauses between speaking, where we just reflect on what was just said or are open to hear the next voice, and sometimes that voice is our own. We conclude the discussion around 12:30.

What if I've never meditated before?
This is a great place to start. Most people in the group are fairly new to meditating, so you'll be in good company.

What type of people will I be meditating with?
Our group is very laid-back and open minded. We recognize that everyone is on their own individual path, so come as you are and you'll be welcomed.

Do I have to sit still for 25 minutes?
No. If you get uncomfortable, shift your position. You can choose to meditate however it works best for you as long as you respect those around you.

How do I start meditating?
