Des Moines Meditation Group Brochure
The Des Moines Meditation & Mindfulness Group began in 1994 as a community of individuals who come together to support one another in their practices of meditation, mindfulness, and Buddhist philosophy. These practices train us to be more fully present in the here and now; to let go of thoughts, feelings, and sensations that may harm us and others; and to experience more lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and peace. Everyone is welcome. Instructions are provided for beginners. Experienced meditators may use any silent method or the one we teach.
