    Are there any secular Buddhist communities in Melbourne?

  2. Jen May 20, 2020 Reply

    Like Steph, I’d like to join (or form) a group near Melbourne.

    Hi Jen and Steph, I’m also looking to connect w secular meditation friends in Melbourne. You can get a sense of where my practice is at on instagram @unltd_edn – maybe we will have something in common?

    I attended this group in Melbourne a few times a couple of years ago: http://www.melbourneinsightmeditation.org/

    However, I am also in finding a group of people nearer St Kilda who work on applying Buddha’s insights to a secular world.
