I meet many people in my Hell's Gate Workshops who are dealing with physical or psychic pain. Some of them impress and inspire me because they are already using their pain to penetrate into the deepest sources of human reality. As space becomes available, I invite such practitioners to join this meditation group for people in pain.

The group is small, eight people. We practice particular meditation and mindfulness techniques throughout the month, then meet to discuss our experience with them and their effectiveness in dealing with our pain and/or catastrophe.

The purpose of the group is to find the most effective ways of dealing internally with chronic suffering, and at the same time, to support each other's individual exploration.

The practices change every 6 months. Participants can renew their group membership every 6 months; some people have been in the San Francisco group for years.
