What to expect

Group meditation means sitting quietly with other people while a teacher guides attention to the breath, the body or a short phrase. Some groups meet at a temple or a dharma center and add a talk, others are drop-in classes at a studio, and a few meet online. No background or belief is needed, and a wandering mind is part of the practice.

How we choose

Every event here came from a source page we fetched, and each one is checked again against its own listing before it is marked verified. A listing we cannot confirm is dropped rather than guessed at. Descriptions say what is happening and where, nothing about what attending will do for you.
