Weekly Meditation Group for Rest and Renewal

We practice 30 minutes total (10 and 20 minutes) of silent meditation weekly in a small group setting. Suitable for beginners. Brief instruction is given. We are non-denominational. Open to all.

We meet at Rockville United Church in Twinbrook, MD. Plenty of parking in a residential neighborhood. One mile from Metro.

**The group is led by a Meditation teacher who offers a brief reading or instruction on meditation, and we also offer a poem or words of encouragement.
We start with 5 minutes of meditation instruction, then a 10 minute period of silence after a bell, then 20 minutes of silent meditation. We end with tea, a poem, and brief conversation.

Please come 5 minutes early to get your seat. We start the meditation promptly at 4:30. If you are late, please wait on the bench until 4:45 for our walking meditation and someone will let you in. Thank you.

This is a good place to rest and refresh on the way home from work and before dinner. Free. Try it.

Poem:
Which is worth more, a crowd of thousands, or your own genuine solitude?
Freedom, or power over an entire nation?
A little while alone in your room will prove more valuable than anything else
that could ever be given to you~~Rumi
