Local Meditation Options

Meditation is great, and it’s really great when you do it regularly, and it’s amazing when you do it with others since you are practicing as a sangha.  The sangha that meets Monday nights at Yardley is not the only place that you can practice meditation with a group.

We have compiled all the places we know of in the area that you can visit and practice meditation with a group.  We also have a calendar and a map of places.  If you know of a place not on this list, please email us

[Note: Please check with the listed place before going as we do not update this list very often and place or time may have changed ]
