WEDNESDAY SILENT MEDITATION

Wednesdays at 7:00 PM (Mexico Time, CST), on Zoom. The session is held in Spanish, but it is a silent sit: an experienced practitioner from the community opens and closes the hour, and the rest is practised in silence together, so the language is not a barrier. You are welcome to join.
