Annual Friends Membership
“You will find that becoming a member deepens your practice.
When you make a tangible commitment,
you recognize this is a living path and it’s about you.”
Anyone who wishes to practice with us is welcome, whether you are completely new to mindfulness or an established practitioner, and there are many ways to engage with our community.
The OnlineLIVE Community Sitting Group, MBSR, MBCT, Residential Events, and other offerings are open to everyone, regardless of whether you of have a Friends Membership or not. However, if you find that sitting and practicing as part of a community on a regular basis and/or monthly Individual Online Meetings with our Guiding Teacher, bolsters and supports your own practice, our Friends Membership option may be a good fit for you.
The Friends Membership option was developed to support participants from anywhere in the world looking to deepen their practice, as well as their connection and commitment to the International Community Centre for Mindful Living (IC.CML).
The Friends Membership was also designed to enable and empower those who wish to contribute to the community itself. In this way, our hope is that a symbiosis is established to sustain the practice of the community and its friends.
