River's Edge Meditation Group

River's Edge Meditation Group Elmira-based meditation and discussion group! Welcoming people of all persuasions to sit with us. Afterward there is discussion, or perhaps a reading.

The River's Edge Meditation Group was founded in 2012 by Margie Rodgers and Seamus Kennedy, and has met weekly on Wednesday evenings since then. We gather at 6:30pm every Wednesday evening, get oriented, and then meditate for 30 minutes together. Beginners can always get basic meditation guidance, and are heartily welcomed. The group has developed into an enthusiasm-generating center of spiritual development, as well as become a mutually supportive refuge for weary minds and hearts. In addition to meditation practice, we regularly hold discussions on book readings, or specific practices that we find interesting and helpful. We schedule beginners workshops throughout the year,

The group has a beautiful Tibetan Buddhist core, often including topics and practices that further us on the path to becoming more compassionate, kind and generous human beings. Integral theory, neurobiology, western faith perspectives, psychology and even storytelling find their way into our discussions! More importantly though, we laugh often, as we support each other on the path of waking up. If you have any questions about the group or what we do, feel free to email Seamus seamus@livewellupstate.com. Blessings on your path and be well.
