DZIMC includes several meditation groups in northern Nevada. Each meditation group is organized differently and has its own unique “culture.” Beginners are always welcome. No group charges a fee, though a practice of generosity through donations is welcomed to help defray expenses.

It's a big old house, painted yellow, about mid-block. Sitting starts at 6:30, so please be a little early. You may park in the lot or on the street. When you go in through the front door, you will see a stairway on your left -- the room we will be sitting in is the art room, upstairs, last room on the right if you turn left at the top of the stairs. We are planning on having
some sort of sign to help everyone navigate.
Contact: Frank Ozaki at oneriversangha@gmail.com or 775-813-7155
About us: Information on One River Sangha can be found on The One River Sangha web site. We are open to meditators of all stripes and experience
levels, and we are a mix of GLBT and straight people. Currently our
group has about a dozen regular sitters. We are rooted in vipassana-style buddhism, but we don't have a resident teacher, and as a result,
we tend to just focus on sitting and cultivating the sangha
community. We start sitting at 6:30, so if you can get
there in time to be settled and ready to meditate at 6:30, that's
ideal. If you're late, no problem -- just enter the room quietly. You
won't disturb anyone! We sit for a half hour, then talk and sometimes
have tea, usually breaking up by 8pm.
When: The 2nd and last Tuesday of the month, October through April
Where: Steamboat Hot Springs Center, 16010 So. Virginia St.
Contact: Janet at 775-690-0752
About us: This group for young adults aged 13 to 18 starts with a short meditation that is followed by tea and an organic snack. Activities vary and include such things as discussions or readings on mindfulness practice, arts and crafts, or field trips. Please contact Janet before attending to receive any necessary updated information.
