Find Your Meditation Group!

Choosing a spiritual community can be a daunting task. Here's a few groups that are warm and welcoming and grounded in the lineage & teachings of the Buddha and Awakening itself. Please Note: This is by no means a comprehensive list of Buddhist communities, it is simply a few groups that I have attended and can recommend firsthand. If you want to learn meditation, deepen your knowledge about buddhism, or simply practice in community- any of the following groups would be excellent places to start.
