Every Morning
Online morning silent meditation, seven days a week. Two sessions offered each morning: from 5:00 to 5:30 AM, and from 7:30 to 8:00AM. This is a wonderful way to kick start and encourage your regular meditation practice. It is a chance to both receive the benefit of practicing with others as well as offer support to others through participating.
