Group Meditation Opportunities

 

 

 

 

 

 

Group meditation is a wonderful way to support one another in our spiritual practices and boost the benefits of meditation. 

  • Sunday Service is a group experience. Meditation periods during service are brief, but the benefit of being with other spiritual seekers and sharing ritual, worship, affirmation, music, as well as meditation, cannot be overstated. When we join our energy with others in high aspiration, we grow.
  • Drop-in meditations are held on Fridays 7 – 8 pm.  Come for the whole hour or stay just a while. The doors are locked at 7:15 so everyone can relax and go inward.    
  • Kirtans, which include devotional chanting and brief meditation, are usually scheduled monthly on Fridays at 7 pm. Held at the temple and at our community location. Please call for information or check our calendar. 503-626-3403
