Free Zen Meditation | Gather, Wilkes-Barre, PA

Every Thursday | 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Unwind and refocus with Free Zen Meditation led by Flowing River Sangha every Thursday at 7 p.m. at Gather in Wilkes-Barre. This weekly session is open to all experience levels and provides a quiet, structured environment for practicing mindfulness and stillness. Wear comfortable clothing and non-slip socks, and bring a cushion or kneeling bench if possible. Chairs are also available for those who prefer seated meditation.

If you’re new to Zen practice, arriving 15 minutes early is encouraged for a brief orientation on posture and breathing techniques. The group emphasizes respect, silence, and community presence, making it a supportive experience whether you’re new to meditation or returning to your practice.

Classes are free of charge, though donations to support Gather are welcomed. Attendees can also take part in the Free Tai Chi session offered just before meditation at 6 p.m., making Thursday a full evening of self-care.
