If you're new to meditation — or new to our community — you're in the right place.
new? start here. Many people come to us feeling curious, uncertain, or simply drawn to explore something deeper. There's nothing you need to prepare, believe, or already know.
What to expect
Sessions are relaxed, welcoming, and beginner-friendly. You may sit, listen, chant softly, or simply rest — all are equally welcome. You can participate as much or as little as you like.
What to bring
Yourself, just as you are. An open mind, and perhaps a little curiosity. No special clothing, experience, or spiritual background is required.
What happens in a session
We typically begin with Gauranga Breathing, a calming meditation breath exercise, followed by gentle kirtan. Everything is guided, and you're free to join in or observe. There's no pressure.
How long does it last?
Our kirtan sessions are usually one hour. You can stay the whole time, or leave whenever you need to. Start by joining an online kirtan from anywhere.
Where to begin
Attend a kirtan from anywhere. See our schedule on Meetup and join on Zoom once the confirmed access details are available.
