About us
This group is for anyone in the Twin Cities who wants to explore local Buddhist meditation options without having to go alone.
We are not a temple, not a lineage, and not a teaching group. We’re simply a friendly community space where people can see what’s happening each week and meet others who want to attend local Buddhist events together.
Many people feel shy walking in by themselves, especially if they’re new to Buddhism or new to the area. Buddhist events typically are not advertised, and it can be surprisingly difficult to figure out what’s happening where. This group exists to make all of that easier.
What we do:
• Share local Buddhist meditation events
• Coordinate meetups for anyone who wants a buddy to attend with
• Host occasional discussion groups for gentle, beginner friendly reflection
• Organize simple community socials: picnics, dinner meetups, etc, so people can meet each other in a relaxed way
• Create a warm, respectful, inclusive environment for all traditions
What we don’t do:
• Teach meditation
• Represent any specific lineage or temple
• Replace the official event hosts
• Charge money
• Function as a dating meetup. We want this to be a genuinely safe space for people to connect and make friends, and because this has consistently been an issue in past groups I’ve created, we ask everyone to keep romantic intentions at bay so that all people feel safe. Thanks for understanding :)
If you’re curious about Buddhism, looking for community, or simply prefer not to attend meditation events alone, you’re welcome here. This is a gentle, supportive space for connection, exploration, and shared practice. Over time, we hope to grow into a small, friendly community where people can meet, talk, and feel at home.
