Programs & Activities at Concord UU

Meditation Group

The meditation group meets on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm in the Chapel. You are welcome if your practice is Vipassana, Zen or one of the Tibetan Schools or if you have had no prior experience as a practitioner.

It is an informal sitting where we sit for about 45 minutes. Marcel (our minister) then reads a brief Dhamma reading; the group responds to the reading and then we sit again for another 30 minutes or so. This is intended as a group sitting to supplement your own daily practice.  If you have never meditated but would like to begin, you are especially welcome.

You should wear comfortable, loose clothing. If you have a zafu or gomden, bring it. Bring at least a firm cushion; the floor in the chapel is hard. We also burn incense but if you are sensitive, we could be talked out of it.
