Guided Meditations

Welcome to Guided Meditations!
In this session, we'd talk and meditate on the topic of suffering and pain.

Pragmatics
Cost: Free

Small and Engaging Groups: To keep the sessions lively and inclusive, we limit group size, ensuring everyone gets a chance to share and enjoy a fulfilling meditation experience.

First Visit Tips: If it's your first time, arrive a bit early to find the location and settle in comfortably.

Dress Comfortably: Wear relaxed clothing so you can sit with ease for a couple of hours. Bring water to stay hydrated.

Mindful Preparation: For the best experience, avoid heavy meals, coffee, alcohol, or any intoxicants before the session. This helps you fully immerse in the practice.

Code of Conduct

Confidentiality Matters: What’s shared in the group stays in the group. By joining, you agree to this, ensuring a safe and supportive space for everyone.

Respect Your RSVP: Please sign up only if you plan to attend and arrive on time — we appreciate your commitment.

Miitti Guidelines: We also adhere to Miitti’s principles for safer space, which are enlisted below.

Questions? Feel free to reach out via Meetup.

Social
Meditation brings us together, and meaningful discussions naturally follow. While time may run short during the session, we often continue conversations over dinner at a nearby restaurant—a great way to connect and build friendships!

MIITTI’s Principles for safer space:
MIITTI wants to nourish a safe and pleasant environment for everyone, where everyone can feel safe as themselves. By joining as a volunteer, employee or participant of the event or activity, you agree to follow the guidelines below

Non-discrimination:
I do not make assumptions about people based on their external characteristics or names. I treat all participants with respect, and I don’t use language or take actions that discriminate based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic. I respect pronouns and names.

Boundaries:
I respect others' personal space and boundaries, both physical and mental. I acknowledge that I cannot know someone else's boundaries without asking first. I ask before touching. I listen to others and adapt my behavior if someone indicates that my behavior makes them feel uncomfortable.

Creating Safe Environment:
Everyone is responsible for contributing to a safe and respectful environment. If I witness harassment, I do my part to support those who experience inappropriate or offensive treatment.

Zero Tolerance for Harassment:
Our space upholds a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or online, will not be tolerated.
If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior or harassment at our events, please report it to the MIITTI or Lapinlahden Lähde staff.
