Free Weekend Meditation Retreat (Online) – November 6 to November 8, 2026
A free weekend meditation retreat, held entirely over Zoom. Sessions are Friday at 6pm, Saturday at noon, and Sunday at noon, US Central time.
It is designed for real people with real lives — whether you are a complete beginner or have been meditating for years. The goal is to give you as much time to practise as possible, alongside time for group and individual conversation.
What you will do
You will learn a gentle, loving-kindness-based meditation practice drawn from the Buddha’s earliest recorded teachings. Most meditation methods ask you to fight your wandering mind. This one doesn’t — the emphasis is on ease, smiling and kindness, because effort and seriousness create exactly the tension you are trying to release. People often find it enjoyable from the very first session, which is not what most of us were taught to expect.
Before you come
You will be asked to watch a short how-to video and read a small amount of material, so that you get the most from your time.
