Regular Weekly Practices
Meditation sessions are open to everyone, and meet at the EBS Center unless noted otherwise. If you are attending a group for the first time, please let the contact know to expect you and arrive a little early to get some instruction. All practices begin promptly at the posted time, so always arrive 5-10 minutes early. We do have some cushions available for guests to use, or you can bring your own.
