Weekly practice groups are the cornerstone of our programs, and include a guided meditation, a talk, and time for questions and discussion. They are accessible to newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. See weekly practice group times

Common Ground has many peer-led community groups that connect practitioners who are interested in how mindful awareness practice intersects with a specific identiy or topic, including groups for BIPOC practitioners, parents, those interested in climate justice, and more. ***Explore community groups***
