Meditation Communities

Local Jewish Meditation Practice Communities

We, at the Awakened Heart Project, have been working for more than twenty years to bring Jewish Contemplative Practice to communities all around the country and the world. Our efforts. combined with the efforts of many other individuals and organizations, have had a tremendous impact in familiarizing Congregations and local communities with Jewish meditation and with contemplative prayer practices. We wish to support all these local efforts.

Below is a database of many places that Jewish meditation is being practiced. This database is searchable, allowing whose seeking a local group to find opportunities. If you know of a local group that you would like us to add, please email the information to us.
