Sati Sangha: Reflective Meditation is a thoughtful and creative take on meditation, mindfulness, and being still. We would like to share our Reflective Meditation practice with you as a refuge, and a time for daily connection, by offering an open meditation group. We will host an opportunity for meditators familiar with Reflective Meditation to participate in a drop-in group to explore their experience in meditation.
For Buddhist meditation and mindfulness teachers: an experiential course to restore your ethical curiosity while teaching, whether on your own or within a sangha. Mentorship and training to dive more deeply into Reflective Meditation practice, and to teach this style of meditation. To support and foster greater self-understanding and spiritual development through Reflective Meditation practice combined with the study of early Buddhist teachings.

Sati Sangha was formed in order to continue the teaching of a thoughtful, respectful, grounded approach to meditation based on the early teachings of the Buddha. The future of this orientation towards meditation along with our adaptions, depends on offering teaching and training to others so that individuals have an opportunity to practice meditation along with a reflective process.
A realistic meditation practice for human beings like us. Practical methods for perceiving and knowing ourselves and others, individually and in community, creating a foundation for fulfilling the Buddhist precepts. If you feel overwhelmed at any point you can bring your focus to an object (your body, a phrase or picture, the breath), or you can get up and move around.
Below we have posted the Dharma talks given at the daily online meditation groups. Each one is about 10 minutes. If on your own you want to try Reflective Meditation practice, play one of the talks before you meditate. After your meditation session, reflect back upon your experience of what happened for you during the meditation sitting.
In an open, less-structured meditation approach there are many ways to meditate. By reflecting upon your meditative practice, you become aware of how meditation supports and informs you. Choose a length of time to meditate. If you are new, consider starting with 20-30 minutes. If that seems too long, try a shorter time: don't stress yourself trying to meditate for too long.
The meditation teacher's role is to assist you in becoming receptive to your meditation experience and to participate with you in its exploration. It is not to edit your journaling, give advice, judge your experience, assert direction or offer therapy. By listening to you talk about your experience, we are learning the particular language you use to describe inner states which often elude easy description.
