Weekly Meditation Meetings in Pālolo Valley
We meet Thursdays, 6:00 to 7:30 PM in Pālolo Valley.
Our next group meditation is on Thursday, June 25, 2026
What to expect
We begin with gentle standing and stretching to settle the body. This is followed by two short guided sitting meditations (about 25 minutes each), with a brief break in between.
The instruction is simple, and most of the time is spent in quiet meditation. After the sitting practice, there is a short talk and time to socialize and connect informally as a group.
Chairs are available, and no experience is needed.

Time, location & arrival
We meet weekly on Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 PM in Pālolo Valley, Honolulu at a private home. The address is listed below.
The front door opens around 5:50 PM, as we are preparing the space. If you arrive a little early, please wait quietly outside until the session begins.
There is no parking at the residence, and street parking in the immediate area is limited and can fill quickly. Many attendees choose to park on 10th Avenue and walk a short distance to the home.
When you arrive, simply come in and we’ll get you all set up.
