We hold Business Meetings open to all of our members four times per year. Our Fall General Membership Meeting will be held Sunday, October 24th, after the service from 12:00 to 1:30 pm.  We invite everyone to stay to hear important updates affecting the San Francisco Meditation Group and its members.  Our meetings are a place to contribute ideas to help discern and implement Master's Vision for the future of his work here in San Francisco.  Your participation at these meetings is greatly appreciated and is essential for the success of our group.  Working together to serve Master's work is a wonderful form of fellowship!

Bi-Monthly Extended Meditation

In addition to our regular services, the San Francisco Meditation Group is now hosting a six-hour meditation on the first Sunday of every other month .  Keeping with the structure of our other long meditations, we will open with a prayer and chant at 4:00 pm.  At the top of each hour, there will be a chanting break for about 10 minutes.  Entry and exit will be allowed only during this period.

If you aspire to deepen and intensify your practice, you are warmly encouraged on November 7th to take advantage of this opportunity for prolonged group meditation!
