Meditation Sitting Groups are periodic (for example weekly, or twice/month) gatherings of practitioners, who practice meditation together Meditation groups can be under the guidance of a teacher or peer-led with the approval of the Leadership Sangha. Each session may include periods of sitting meditation, walking meditation, guided meditations, dharma talks by the teacher, contemplative exercises, and/or groups discussions.

In keeping with our commitment to Diversity, some Sitting Groups may be reserved for practitioners from specific under-represented communities, e.g., People of Color, LGBTQI/SGL communities, youth and young adults.


Participation in Sitting Groups is offered for no fee, in order to make them available to the widest possible audience. Instead, practitioners are offered an opportunity at the end of each session to make a voluntary offering, to the level of their ability, to support the teacher and the center. This is known as the practice of “dana,” or joyful generosity. (See About EBMC.)
