Laurence Freeman encourages meditators who appreciate the treasure they have discovered in meditation to share it with others by starting a meditation group. ‘All it takes to start a group,’ he says, ‘is the faith to begin and the support of those who have gone before.’ With this reassurance, he encourages meditators to deepen their own practice both by sharing it and being of service to others.

This updated handbook offers simple suggestions and practical ideas on how to start a group, and also to sustain and nurture it along the way.
