Circle of Stillness currently meets the last Sunday of every month at the Gorton Community Center in Lake Forest from 9:30 to 11 a.m. On the other Sundays, sits are conducted online via Zoom.

Please subscribe to our email list below for updated schedule information and Zoom link.

The Circle of Stillness Sangha is a  supportive community for people who would like to practice Vipassana meditation together, listen to talks on the teachings of the Buddha, share thoughts, ask questions and hear from others on the path. We offer 30 minutes of silent meditation and a 30 minute dharma talk followed by discussion, sharing and questions. Instruction is offered in Insight Meditation. 

We are appropriate for those beginning a practice and those who have been practicing for decades.  

We welcome you—whether you’re new to meditation, an experienced practitioner, or anywhere in between. We seek to promote the inclusion and participation of people of diverse identities, including those of all races, ethnicities, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities, classes, religions, political views, abilities, and ages, that all may feel welcome, safe and respected within this community.
