Regular meditation is the foundation of a strong spiritual practice, and especially useful in times like these.
How it Works
The easiest way to connect with us is to sign up to our mailing list. From there, you’ll get the link to join our open Tuesday meditations (Starting September 7th, 2021) and any other events.
We also offer meditations online, 5 evenings a week with our monthly subscription program. To find out more, first join one of our Tuesday sessions and ask about the Meditation Groundwork community. If a Tuesday evening can’t work for you, drop us a line and one of us will get in touch.
There is no fee to join Tuesdays, and the monthly program runs on a pay-from-the-heart model.
Coming Soon: Thursday evening online dharma classes
Testimonial for Meditation Groundwork
“I am so grateful to have found Dharma Hub’s online sits. I was surprised at how quickly the gatherings started to feel like a community. Being able to count on the familiar and welcoming faces of Andy and Maryline several times a week has helped me be more consistent and has deepened my mindfulness practice.”

Regular Meditation Sessions Each Month
After you’ve attended an open sit and chatted with one of us about the program, you can sign up at any time to join our regular sessions. It’s done on a sliding scale by dana (pay from the heart) and you can join as many or as few sits as you like through the month. We currently meditate live on 4 weekdays (20 minutes each) and on Sunday evenings (40 minutes for a longer experience). Our intention is to provide a framework for a strong regular practice, supporting you to practice more by yourself as well as with the group.
Meditation Groundwork is a monthly subscription by pay-from-the-heart or “dana”, so you consciously choose to renew your personal commitment and intention each month.
Who is Meditation Groundwork for?
Anyone who:
- wishes to start a meditation practice and doesn’t know where to start
- values meditation and wants to make it happen in his/her life
- has meditated, and needs support in order to make it part of a regular healthy lifestyle.
Why?
Part of you knows that dedicating time to stop and breathe mindfully is important. It’s hard to make it happen alone! We know that from experience! Whatever good intentions, the reality is that all is set up for you to be drawn back into habits and busyness. It takes a good amount of effort to disroot this habit of thinking about everything, everywhere, all the time! It is just what we know. What we are used to.
You may have recognized that this approach to life is not fulfilling. That somewhat, whatever you do, you always fall back into some sort of anxiety, dissatisfaction or pain.
Ultimately, you know that true peace is found inwards. All you need is dedicated time and effort to train yourself into being present with this moment, just as it is, without needing to do much about it.
This group practice will help you develop the muscle of concentrating the mind on something truly wonderful and anchoring, your very own breath.

-Weekly structured group sits
-Increased knowledge of the practice of breathing meditation

“I tried many years to meditate by myself without gaining much momentum and it’s really when I started to practice with others that I gave myself the gift of healthy habits.”
– Maryline
“Finding groups to connect with and making small commitments, and then larger ones, has ensured my practice stuck through the years. This is one reason I love offering this program, to pay forward all the teachings, support, and inspiration I’ve received over the years. Plus, committing to offering this program week in and week out supports my own practice.”
– Andy
