In-Person Community Meditation Gathering

with Wildecy de Fátima Jury

Wednesday, February 15th, 2023 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET

Location: Still Mind Zendo at 37 West 17th St, #6W, New York City
 

 
Although Buddhism is often seen as a solitary path, sangha, or community, is an essential part of meditation practice. However, cultivating this sense of community has been a difficult challenge in this day and age of social isolation and Zoom fatigue.

New York Insight is excited to offer a brand new series of in-person community gatherings consisting of guided meditation, a talk by one of our teachers, followed by group discussion, and opportunities to socialize and connect with like-minded practitioners.

Whether you are brand new to meditation practice, new to New York Insight, or are a longtime, experienced meditator, all are welcome to join us for this series of in-person community meditation gatherings.

We hope to see you there! Please arrive 15 minutes early to ensure an orderly check-in.
 

Space is limited, please RSVP below.
