What we’re about
A group for people who practice meditation in the Palm Beach County area. The goal is to sit together and enjoy peace and quiet. Everyone is welcome.
Required by Meetup:
- What we're about: Creating an open and welcoming space to practice seated meditation (or any other silent contemplative practice) in a group setting.
- Who should join: Anyone who is interested in meditation or spiritual practice (from any tradition) and wishes to practice in silence with other people in the Palm Beach County area. No experience necessary to join but please note, this is not a guided meditation group, so no formal instruction will be given at our meetups.
- Dues / Fees (None): This group is and will always be free to join and attend. Donations to the venues where we practice are welcome but not mandatory.
- Affiliations: This group is unaffiliated with any company or organization. It was started by a group of people who used to meditate at the now-closed Palm Beach Shambhala Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. At present, we are meeting at the Palm Beach Quakers Meeting House because they were kind enough to allow us to use their space.
- What to Expect: The meeting house has a comfortable open room upstairs with lots of chairs. Let us know if you need wheelchair assistance (there is a lift). Bring your own cushion or kneeling bench if you prefer not to sit in a chair. Just come upstairs and find a place to sit. When it's time to start, we ring a bell and sit for 20 minutes. After twenty minutes, we take a short stretch break. Then we continue for another 20 minutes. No socializing is necessary, but feel free to stay and chat afterward.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. We hope to sit with you!

Note: This event is also promoted on our Facebook group, in a newsletter, and on Instagram.
Join us for two 20-minute sessions of seated meditation with a brief optional stretch break in between (~45 mins total).
There are plenty of chairs but you are welcome to bring your cushion or kneeling bench if you prefer that. Just park in the back, come upstairs, have a seat. We will ring a chime to begin.
This is unguided meditation. Any form of silent practice is welcome (e.g. mindfulness, prayer, self-inquiry, TM, etc).
Everyone is welcome.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and invite anyone who might be interested. Let's enjoy the stillness together :)
(Thank you to the Palm Beach Quakers for allowing us to meet in their meeting house.)
