River's Edge Meditation

The River's Edge Meditation Group is a community-focused non-profit founded in 2012 by Margie Rodgers and Seamus Kennedy to explore, learn, and practice meditation. This vision has developed into an enthusiasm-generating center of spiritual development, as well as become a mutually supportive refuge for weary minds and hearts. 

​

Our intention to gather with like-minded people is to become more compassionate, kind and generous human beings in the world. This community has a beautiful Tibetan Buddhist core mixed with western faith perspectives, psychology, integral theory, neurobiology, and even storytelling finds its way into our discussions! We are open to people's belief system as long as respect is given to all .

 

Most importantly though, we laugh often, as we support each other on the path of waking up. Whether you are a Beginner (will receive basic meditation guidance if needed), or a seasoned practitioner, you are warmly welcomed. Thanks to Covid and technology, anyone from anywhere can join us as we've expanded to a joint virtual and in-person community.

​

In addition to meditation practice every Wednesday evening, we regularly hold discussions on book readings, or explore specific practices we find interesting and helpful. We offer workshops for those who want to start a meditation practice, plus we bring meditation teachers to our center for more advanced workshops throughout the year.

Why the name River's Edge Meditation?

 

We often get carried away by our thoughts and emotions. It's easy to be swept away into the deep dark choppy waters in our mind. Learning to meditate doesn't stop your thoughts, but it does give you a safe vantage point to watch your mind from the shore.
