What form of meditation do we teach?

• Our workshops are founded on the teachings of Sri Chinmoy.
• We cover a range of meditation techniques (mantras, music, breathing, etc.), but focus primarily on meditation in the spiritual heart.
• We hope to provide participants with a genuine experience of meditation through simple, straightforward exercises. 
• Our courses are not based on a religion but simply the idea that meditation can allow us to explore our own deeper nature.

Meet the Course Instructors

Our many courses share a simple goal—to provide the skills that will enable each participant to personally discover the many benefits of meditation and in this way to contribute to a more peaceful world.

As the countless drops
Of the boundless ocean
Or the myriad leaves
Of a huge banyan tree
Peacefully remain side by side,
Even so, all human beings
Will someday live side by side
In a perfect oneness-world.
