Ham and Richmond Sangha
Richmond Mindfulness Meditation Group
Welcome to the Richmond Mindfulness Meditation Group.
We meet weekly on Wednesday evenings to practice Buddhist meditation. (See Meetings page on our website for dates and venues)
The Group is inspired by and associated with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s Community of Interbeing and with the Insight Meditation tradition of Gaia House.
We aspire to bring mindfulness, concentration, and insight to daily living. During our meetings we practice guided meditation, walking meditation and silent sitting meditation. We also share readings from a wide range of Buddhist and other spiritual teachers. There is an opportunity for “mindful speaking” in which we communicate with compassionate listening and loving speech. Our meetings finish with tea. (See Our practice page on our website for more details of what we do).
The Group was founded in 1997 and we warmly welcome both beginners and experienced meditators as new members. There is no charge for attending meditation evenings but donations are accepted towards running costs. Please make contact by email or telephone before attending for the first time (see Contact us page on our website for contact details)
We are a friendly, inclusive group with both Buddhist and non-Buddhist members.
