**Update 3/13/2020: Temporarily Moving to Online Sangha**
After mindful reflection on the current situation in Houston and around the country with regard to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Mindfulness Practice Community of Houston has decided to suspend our in-person meetings until further notice. We wish to contribute in whatever way we can to the well-being of all, and social distancing is recommended by health experts as a major contributor to the slowing of the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
To maintain connection and community during this time, we will meet online through Zoom on Sundays, at 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM. We will open with a short introduction, followed by 20 minutes of meditation, then the program presentation, and close with Dharma sharing. The entire time together will last for approximately 1.5 hours.
To join us, please visit our Monthly Calendar in order to register through Zoom:
