What we’re about
The mission of the Tergar Meditation Community is to make the ancient practice of meditation accessible to the modern world. For centuries, the practice of meditation has been used by countless individuals to transform suffering into joy and confusion into wisdom.
The meetup group has weekly sitting groups, workshops, and retreats based on Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's bestselling book, The Joy of Living. Open to anyone, regardless of belief or experience.
At the intersection of spirituality and modern neuroscience, the Tergar Community presents practical, accessible teachings and guidance on cultivating a meditation practice, within a supportive community.

A Meditator’s Guide to Buddhism: The Path of Awareness, Compassion, and Wisdom
Together, they will explore the cutting-edge research they are both involved in at Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison and what we are learning about the practice of meditation and how it can be used to train and transform the human mind.
