An open meditation group

Welcome to an open, non-sectarian meditation group that brings meditation into the daily life of Espoo residents. We meet on Sunday mornings from 10 to 11 AM in whichever space the library designates at the time – usually in the group room Kajuutta or the larger stage area next to it.

The purpose is simply to sit together in silence for 45 minutes. This is not a therapy group, nor a discussion or teaching session. After the session there is time to catch up. We begin right after the library opens. The floor is carpeted wall-to-wall. The style is free. The library provides chairs and some cushions, and you are welcome to bring your own cushion as well. Meditation takes place as part of the library’s everyday life, so background sounds and occasional passers-by are part of the experience.
