We are excited to offer another 24 hour meditation as we move into the fall with a collective prayer for peace.

The Maharishi Effect suggests that when a small percentage of a population practices meditation, it can create measurable ripple effects in the wider community, like reduced stress and conflict.

A small group, consistent in practice, can change the room. And a room can change a neighborhood.

What changes – in our homes, in our communities, in our city –when we practice peace like it’s real?

Every Table is offering a 24-hour meditation this weekend for peace in the City of Richmond and surrounding counties. 

This is a 24-hour container. Come for an hour, come for a few hours, or come for as long as your body and life allow. You do not have to do the whole 24 to be part of the ritual.

What to bring

• A cushion, chair, or bench option (multiple seating options are ideal)

• A blanket, layers, and anything that helps you regulate (hat, socks, shawl)

• Water, snacks, and any medication you need

• A journal if you want to track what comes up

• An eye mask if you plan to rest

• A phone on silent (or off), because this is a distraction-free space on purpose

Gratitude to our gracious hosts at Richmond Hill!
