Before the meeting

A few essentialsbefore you arrive

If your question is not listed, message the organizers. They will gladly help you understand the details of a specific gathering.

Ask a question

Do I need meditation experience?

No. Open gatherings are designed to welcome first-time visitors. The team explains the format clearly, and you choose how much you wish to participate.

How much does it cost?

Some gatherings are free. The event page and official Telegram announcement always state the exact terms.

What should I bring?

Comfortable clothing is usually all you need for a studio gathering. Practices by the sea, hikes, and picnics have their own packing notes.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. Many people first meet the community this way. Message the organizers in advance if you wish, or simply follow the details in a confirmed announcement.

Are all gatherings explicitly spiritual?

Mantra meditation and the bhakti-yoga tradition are at the heart of the community, yet the introduction is gentle: through music, conversation, walks, trips, and shared activities.
