Community at the Hillwood Meditation Centre and Accommodation
Social Life at the Hillwood Meditation Centre
The Hillwood Road Meditation Skills Centre is a friendly place with comfortable furniture and it's easy to make yourself a cuppa. About thirty people have a long-standing habit of coming to the Centre every week for one reason or another. Newcomers are always welcome. Apart from the regulars, there are many people who come for just one or a few visits, including travellers who are staying at the accommodation. If you attend fifty Meditation Meetings, you will be awarded a souvenir mug and you are welcome to hang it on a hook in the kitchenette. Over twenty mugs have been issued since the meditation centre opened and some of those people have attended hundreds of meetings. You will soon find that faces are familiar.
For details of Meditation Meetings and Not-Church see the current program here.
