Young-ish Adults Sitting Group (20, 30, 40s)

InsightLA; Dhr. Seven, Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Jen (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
InsightLA's Celeste Young thinks it's great young-sih adults support each other in community.

The Young-ish Adults Sitting Group is for 20s, 30s, or 40s, providing mindfulness meditation in a supportive hybrid in-person/online community of peer practitioners.

Join either by Zoom online or in-person at the Benedict Canyon Retreat House, in a beautiful, nature-rich environment.

Share in and contribute to the collective wisdom related to sitting meditation practice.

All weekly meetings beginning in January 2024 will be held on Sunday from 7:00 pm-8:30 pm PST.

Attendees have optional time for connection from 8:30-9:00 pm after each session wraps up.

It's weird being same age as old ppl
"Young-ish," for the purpose of this group, means anyone in his/her/their 20s, 30s, or 40s.
  • What’s most alive in your practice?
  • What are you struggling with?
In a supportive group environment, we will meditate and explore practical application of the Buddhist wisdom tradition in daily life. We’ll focus most on the challenges you might be facing as a Young-ish Adult including:
  • How to live the teachings of mindfulness and compassion in daily life, navigating transitions, relationships, and careers.
  • If you have a topic that you would like to bring more mindfulness to, bring it to the group.
Who is this practice group for?

The Young-ish Practice Group is for people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who would like to deepen their mindfulness practice and understanding of Buddhist psychology in community.

All are welcome, regardless of previous mindfulness or meditation experience. Our intentions:
  • Explore Buddhist psychology and mindfulness science to support practical integration in daily life.
  • (There is no need to identify as Buddhist because ALL are welcome).
  • Foster ongoing development of inclusive community and supportive friendship among younger practitioners.
  • Practice in support of the cultivation of wisdom and alleviation of suffering for all beings, without exception.
