Weekly Meditation Groups in the Community
Quaker Practice
During the school year, Quaker faith meditations take place weekly at MORSL. **Fall 2024 schedule: Wednesdays 4:30-5:30pm** Send a message to the Montreal Midweek Quaker Meeting group on Facebook and keep up with any scheduling and other options such as Zoom.
What to expect: The essence of the Quaker tradition is that there is something divine in every person. Thus, no need for priests, hierarchy, or dogma; there are atheist Quakers, Buddhist Quakers, Christian Quakers, and more. Quakers meet in stillness and silence: the goal of this practice is to discern our highest truth so we can speak and act from it. Sometimes, it feels right to share something from that encounter with the group. If so, we speak it aloud.
McGill Meditation Club
The McGill Meditation Club meets weekly in MORSL's beautiful meditation and prayer space. The goal of the club is to foster the practice of meditation, and discuss the theory behind it. Please be aware that the room is small and spaces are limited. Once capacity is reached, the session is closed to new arrivals. **Fall 2024 schedule: Tuesdays 5:00-6:00pm**
Keep up to-date with practice times by checking Meditation Club Facebook page or meditation [at] ssmu.ca (email) them for more info.
