Noble Silence Meditation

We practice 20 minutes of sitting meditation, followed by 10 minutes of walking meditation, and another 20 minutes of sitting meditation. We observe noble silence upon entering, while practicing, and while leaving the meditation space.  No other practice or discussion following meditation.

Please feel free to come for either or both parts of evening practice. It's okay to arrive late if you need to (just come in quietly and sit down), or to leave early.
The Yoga Path

At Honey Locust Sangha, we are fairly relaxed and informal; we have some meditation cushions and chairs to sit on. If you haven't meditated before, let us know and we will talk about meditation before we sit. In this tradition we practice meditation in order to enjoy sitting peacefully with others. The emphasis is on sitting in a way that is comfortable, pleasant and enjoyable, rather than on achieving a special state of mind.
