Men Who Meditate:
Introducing A New Mindfulness Practice Group

This two-hour practice session is an invitation for persons who identify as
male to gather together virtually for community and meditation practice.
All experience of meditation are welcome.

What are the activities we usually associate with men? Meditation is probably not in the Top 10 list of men's activities.... How come?

These days we hear all about the health benefits of mindfulness, and empirical research shows that men's physical and mental health benefit from friendship and social connection - but that is not always easy for men to find.

What might it be like to gather with other men, practice a little meditation together, and connect a bit with each other about what's going on in our lives? The practice of meditation offers a way for us to form community together.

We aim to offer these practice opportunities for men on a semi-regular, quarterly-ish basis moving forward. Hopefully in the future we will be able to gather in-person; for now, Zoom will serve as our community Man Cave.

In addition to meditating together, we will have an opportunity to be in conversation and reflect on our experiences with each other in breakout rooms and the large group. And there is no pressure that you have to share. You are always welcome simply to be in the group in whatever way is possible for you. All experience of meditation are welcome, and all who identify as male are invited.
