We meet once a month, either in the suburbs or downtown. Email to get connected! --Roshni
For each Awakin Circle, a few of us come together to sit in silence for an hour, share some aha-moments for the second hour and often have a light meal afterwards. There no teachers, or agendas. Inspired by many others who have done this for decades, Awakin Circles offer a space to come together and share in a context of stillness, community and service.
To be notified of the next circle, simply sign-up in the right column and you'll be sent an email with more information. Below is our typical format:
7:00PM An hour of collective silence; its unguided, without any instructions or music. For
first-timers, this primer on meditation may be helpful.
8:00PM A short reading (sent out earlier via email), followed by a circle of sharing of "aha" moments from everyday life.
9:00PM Vegetarian meal, and general interaction.
There is no charge and no one is expected to bring anything. People organically "pay-it-forward" to the world in their own ways.

About Awakin Circles
Awakin circles started when three friends got together in 1996 to sit in silence, every Wednesday, in an ordinary living room in Silicon Valley. Instead of closing the door, they left it open ... to all. The rest, as they say, is history.
