Wednesday Group @ The Yoga Center

Historically, 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 travellers, not teachers. The group is led by an SEBC facilitator and generally follows this order:

  • Check-in & announcements (5 min)
  • Settling-in (<10 min)
    • 4-7-8 breathing exercise/deep breathing
    • Loving-kindness (mettāpractice/setting intention
  • Sitting meditation (20 min)
    • Answer questions/refresher about meditation, if necessary
    • Mindfulness of breathing (or personal practice)
  • Reading & discussion (20-25 min.)
  • Closing/Dedication of merit

If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where do you expect to find it?
