Join our Buddhist meditation community in the heart of Brooklyn
Join us for our regular Thursday evening meditation sit. All experience levels are welcome.
We meet in-person and start at 7 PM sharp and usually end around 9 PM. We encourage you to arrive five to ten minutes early to get settled in. Here is our usual format:
Three minute sit in silence to arrive
Brief introductions with emotional check-ins
We take turns reading a book on mindfulness. We are currently reading When Awareness Becomes Natural by Sayadaw U Tejaniya
We meditate together in silence for 30 minutes
We are randomly split up into dyads for a paired eye-receiving and verbal noting practice
We take turns sharing what we thought of the reading, how our practice is going, or really whatever is on our mind
We close with a group MettΔ (loving-kindness) meditation
After ending around 9 PM, you are invited for a casual hangout where we chat and share fruits
We usually meet at an apartment near the Kensington Dog Run which is located south of Prospect Park. Please contact us for the location as we sometimes host it at different people's homes on different weeks.
All our events are completely free.

While we draw primarily from the Insight/Theravada Tradition of IMS, we welcome all perspectives. Whether you're taking your first steps into meditation or deepening an established practice, you'll find support and guidance here.
