What we’re about

Meditation Club is primarily an opportunity to practice meditation with a group of like-minded people. Each event will start with a short check in from each participant, then a 20-30 minute lightly guided meditation. The event will close with shares from participants about their meditation experience.

All genders, ages, identities, and bodies are welcome at Meditation Club. Radical inclusion, acceptance, and respect are expected of all attendees.

It is strongly recommended to have at least a small amount of experience with meditation before coming to Meditation Club. Guided meditation apps like Happier, Calm, and Balance have free trials and a vast library of guided meditations to try. You can also search for guided meditations on Youtube to get some experience with practicing on your own.

The light meditation guidance offered is inspired by Buddhist philosophy. While there are dozens of different meditative styles and techniques just within Buddhism, they can be broadly categorized into two primary attentional strategies. Concentration meditation (samatha) is when the meditator focuses on a fixed mental object (an image, a mantra, the breath, an abstract idea). Insight meditation (vipassana) is when the meditator focuses on the actual workings of their own mind. Both strategies have a lot to offer, and both will be incorporated into the simple guided meditations at Meditation Club.
