Social Meditation

This group is open to practitioners of all ages and experience (including those new to meditation) interested in exploring meditation practice in a secular, non-dogmatic environment.

Practice begins with 20 minutes of silent meditation (instruction available), followed by social meditation. Social meditation is a practice of mindful communication (think meditative talking circle with activities) in which body, speech and mind come together to help us bring congruency to our experience and communication in the present moment. The practice fosters a sense of both confidence and community. Practice ends at 8pm, and you are invited to stay for tea afterwards.

While engaging vulnerably with your own experience is encouraged during this practice, this is not meant to be a therapy group and is not a replacement for therapy. The facilitators are not trained mental health professionals. In order to keep this practice safe, anything shared during this practice should be considered confidential. You are welcome to discuss your own experience outside of practice, but please do not discuss others' experiences or refer to anything shared during group unless the person who shared brings it up first.

The suggested donation for this event is $5 - $10, which help to cover the space rental and meetup.com fees. The facilitators are volunteers.

This event is cross-promoted outside of Meetup, so there will likely be more attendees than displayed on this Meetup event.
