**New to Buddhism? We recommend reading Intro to Buddhism**
**New to Meditation? We recommend reading How to Meditate**
Our Wednesday Group meets on the first two Wednesdays (see Calendar) of each month at The Yoga Center in North Augusta, SC. All levels of meditators are welcome to attend (including those with no previous experience); however, we encourage people to “bring your own practice.” The group is led by an SEBC facilitator and generally follows this order:
- Introduction & Announcements (5 min.)
- Settling-in (5-10 min.)
- 4-7-8 breathing exercise/deep breaths
- Loving-kindness (mettā) practice/Setting intention
- Sitting Meditation (20 min.)
- Refresher & questions about meditation
- Mindfulness of breathing (ānāpānasati)
- Reading & Discussion (20-25 min.)
- Closing
If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where do you expect to find it?
