Latest schedule & info will be posted on our calendar & Facebook. Please email us if you have any questions.
Our Wednesday Group meets on the 1st & 2nd Wednesdays (see Calendar) of each month. ALL levels of meditators are welcome to attend, including those with no previous experience; however, we encourage people to “bring your own practice.” We’re a practice group of fellow travelers, not teachers. The group is led by an SEBC facilitator and generally follows this order:
- Introduction & Announcements (5 min)
- Settling-in (<10 min)
- 4-7-8 breathing exercise/deep breathing
- Loving-kindness (mettā) practice/setting intention
- Sitting Meditation (20 min)
- Answer questions/refresher about meditation, if necessary
- 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?
