Welcome. The Meditation Circle is a meditation group in the Buddhist insight or vipassana tradition, based in Charleston, West Virginia.  Beginners are welcome and you do not need to be a Buddhist to benefit from sitting practice. We’re a lay support group for people interested in meditation or who wish to deepen their practice through the support of a meditation sangha. Our members come from a wide variety of spiritual traditions and backgrounds. We encourage people to seek out seasoned teachers to further their practice.

We meet every Tuesday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 520 Kanawha Blvd., in Charleston, W.Va. Bring a cushion if you have sat in meditation before or chairs are available. Each gathering begins with 10 minutes of light yoga, followed by 30 minutes of sitting, walking or standing meditation with a discussion afterwards. See our most recent blogposts to find out what the current discussion theme may be. You may also subscribe via e-mail or RSS feed to keep up-to-date on postings to this website. We welcome people from all spiritual traditions and instruction and guided meditation is offered to people just starting out. Come join the Circle (although sometimes it resembles an oblong or parallelogram, but the Meditation Parallelogram of Charleston didn’t have quite the right sound.)
