Community Mindfulness Drop-in Groups
Freely offered, donations are warmly appreciated.
We'd love to have you join!
Our Community Mindfulness Drop-in Groups are an opportunity to learn about and practice mindfulness meditation with the support of others. The groups are open to everyone on a drop-in basis. There is no need to have prior meditation experience. In these groups, we draw from many wisdom traditions, scientific research, and other sources as we explore how mindfulness can be a healing presence in our lives and allow us to meet each moment with greater skillfulness, resilience, wisdom and kindness.
The groups are on-going. If for some reason we are not meeting on a particular day, it will be posted on this page.

I learned the importance of kindness and compassion in my practice, experience it as a gift to myself, how helpful it is to practice regularly even if it’s just for a few minutes. [The teacher’s] kindness acceptance of us all was so helpful. The clarity and direction she provided brought it all together for me.

Learning to catch myself with continual judgments of myself, and others, has been so helpful. Those judgments are still there, but now I question why and ask myself how else I might look at a situation. I have gained a lot of confidence about my ability to be with my own thoughts and feelings without reacting in the moment.
