Welcome to Community Meditation

For the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, all groups will only be meeting online using Zoom (details below).



Community Meditation is non-profit network of meditation groups. We bring mindfulness and wellness into people’s lives through courses, meditation sittings and group discussions, both in-person and online. By sharing the benefits of meditation and mindfulness, we support the evolution of a wise, caring, and healthy world.

Our network has existed for over a decade and we have groups in several cities including Mississauga, Oshawa, and Owen Sound.

Our roots are Buddhist, but we draw on many wisdom traditions as well as contemporary wellness, psychology, and neuroscience. Community Meditation is completely volunteer-based and guided by a council of experienced teachers.

Community Meditation is a Canada Revenue Agency Registered Charity No. 73107 5719 RR0001.

Sit. Move. Write. Read. Workshop: Saturday, October 10th

This one-day online workshop expands practices of sitting and moving meditation to include reading, writing, and periods of silence. The result is a fresh approach to calming and clarifying the mind.

Inspired by Natalie Goldberg's book, The True Secret of Writing, this workshop includes the reading, writing, and silence as practices. Goldberg says this about her retreat:

The quietest, deepest sits I've experienced have included writing. The writing helps to empty and settle the mind. We then can sink into a quiet pool, into silence, out of which all of those tumultuous thoughts were created in the first place...We get to hear the burning, roving thoughts of the people we are sitting with. Reading and listening brings us out of ourselves are we feel relief. We are not crazy. Others have all these wild thoughts, too. Sharing opens compassion and alleviates isolation. I am not alone.
