Oak Park Meditation Group

We are dedicated to creating a space where anyone can practice meditation with others and connect with the wisdom of the tradition in ways that are meaningful to them.  Although one doesn’t need to be Buddhist to practice meditation, our form of meditation comes from the Buddha by way of Tibet.  We use a wide variety of Buddhist-inspired readings to support our practice and to bring our understanding into daily life.  

We start each in-person session with a pre-meditation stretch drawing from Qi Gong and Tai Chi body movement practices.

We meditate together. For newcomers to meditation, you can arrange meditation instruction. Meditation can be done on the mat, sitting in a cross-legged position or on a meditation bench, in a chair or in a wheel chair.

Meditation is followed by group discussion of reading material that supports our meditation practice.
