What we’re about
Founded by Dean and Maggy Sluyter, our Natural Meditation sangha is devoted to nondual, contemplative approaches of Buddhist and Advaita teachings. We focus on directly experiencing the awareness and peace always present – even in the midst of seeming chaos and uncontrolled thoughts. Our intention is to take the fruits of this direct experience “off the meditation cushion” and into our everyday lives. New Jersey towns served by Natural Meditation of NJ include Roselle Park, Scotch Plains, Cranford, Clark, Westfield, Rahway, Fanwood, and Plainfield.

See all- Online meditation with Dean SluyterOnline via Zoom, Los Angeles, CA
A weekly meditation series -- conducted online via Zoom -- with the co-founder of our sangha, Dean Sluyter. Dean has led hundreds of meditation workshops and is the author of Natural Meditation, Fear Less, The Zen Commandments, Cinema Nirvana, and other books. To register, go to this page on Dean's website.
Here is Dean's description of the meditation:
This is a great way to stay (or become!) calm, sane, and happy in these strange times. First, through guided practice of natural meditation, we settle within ourselves and connect with our inmost core of just being — the place of infinite OK-ness. Then, in the discussion, we address questions about meditation practice and integrating that inner OK-ness into everyday life.
New participants are always welcome. No experience, skill, attitude, or belief is required. The sessions are free and open to everyone, anywhere in the world. For a quick preview of the effortlessness of natural meditation, go here. Anyone can meditate.
