Creating Communities of Meditation Practice
Millions of people around the world are discovering the power of meditation to rewire their minds, hearts, and bodies to support well-being. But changing decades-old habits of judgement and distraction can take years of diligent practice. And taking time to pause with a regular meditation practice can be difficult, particularly in these fast-moving times; harder still is going this journey alone. That's why practitioners and travelers across cultures and centuries have lived by the old African proverb - If you want to go far, go together. We hope you can find some fellow travelers here.
