Meditation is an ancient and universal practice of self-discovery, rooted in the simple but revolutionary premise that every human being has the ability to cultivate the mind’s inherent stability, clarity and strength in order to be more awake . . . and to develop the compassion and insight necessary to care genuinely for oneself and the world.
Meditation groups are a wonderful way of connecting with others to share and deepen your meditation practice. These groups provide community, accountability and a supportive space to connect with others while steadying and enriching your practice.
This group is respectful, friendly, and inclusive toward all meditation approaches. No prior experience with meditation is required. Simply the capacity to sit silently for approximately 60 minutes in a reflective, mindful state is all that is needed. Your are welcome to participate for the full hour, or for any portion of the hour that works for you.
What to Expect: The session will be conducted in silence. A bell will sound at the beginning and end of the one-hour period. We will all remain muted throughout.
If you are new to meditation practice and find you are interested in learning more about meditation, consider exploring the resources on this site: Meditation and Yoga.

The Bhagavad Gita is an ancient scripture describing the journey of consciousness that we are all traveling, whether or not we are aware. It is not a religion or a system of beliefs, nor a substitute for these. It is an enhancement of one’s existing religious or spiritual practices, and can be experienced directly through one’s own life.
The Mother Book is a series of inspirational essays by Sri Aurobindo. Together they offer a powerful statement of the orientation, attitude and commitment to which one is asked to surrender on the path Integral Yoga.
What to Expect: We begin each group with a centering period of silence and stillness. We then share our experiences and perceptions of progressive chapters we have read during the previous week. The focus can be on exploring how our learnings may apply to our lives. Cross-talk is occasionally invited, and facilitated as needed.
Please let us know you are interested.

Overview: It is widely recognized that western cultures tend to resist death as a fact of life. Ironically . . . and paradoxically, cultures in which death is accepted and celebrated demonstrate a greater capacity for accepting and enjoying life itself.
Death Cafés invite us into purposeful and intentional discussions about death and dying, and create the opportunity to explore our fears and anxieties related to endings and losses. In the process, many participants find greater meaning and deeper appreciation for the joyful immediacy of the human experience.
Death Café discussions provide an opportunity for personal reflection and connection with self and others. There's no program or goal, no agenda or advertising. All are welcome. All backgrounds and beliefs are included and accepted.
Death Café is not a bereavement group - should you require resources for the grieving process, those can be provided to you.
This is a virtual event, held with the respectful intention to honor each person's unique journey. Guidelines are in place to create a safe, contained vessel: absolute confidentiality, cross-talk when invited, reflection from personal experience rather than feedback.
