Meditation

Meditation is a UU cornerstone

​Meditation groups and Buddhist Sanghas meet regularly at the Hillcrest campus. Visitors are always welcome and no prior experience or Buddhist commitment is necessary for any of the following gatherings. Meditation has become the cornerstone of the faith of many Unitarian-Universalists, whether their belief is agnostic, theist, or atheist, and whether their orientation is Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Islamic, or other. Many have found that their own personal meditation experience has been enhanced by the presence and support of others in group mediation.

South Bay Campus

Sunday Morning Meditation
​Temporarily suspended due to Covid-19. Get directions to our 
South Bay Campus.

Hillcrest Campus

Open Heart Sangha
Sundays, weekly, 4 pm — 5:30 pm, online.
The Open Heart Sangha continues to meet on Sunday afternoons through online Zoom gatherings. Contact Marge,
margewur@gmail.com for the link
.

Mid-Week Meditation
Wednesdays 10 am to 11:30 am
During the pandemic campus shutdown, our Mid-Week Meditation now meets on Zoom.  Along the Buddhist Vipassana tradition, we start with an initially guided
meditation leading into a silent sitting meditation. This is followed by a brief ritual, followed by a dharmette and discussion including breakout rooms for more discussion. All are welcome.  Please contact John Holl, (619) 271-3672 johnholl@cox.net, for more information or to receive a zoom invitation.

Some come for all or part of these meetings. You are welcome to drop in.
