Community Meditation Nights at Buckeye Ridge
September 7 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Curious about meditation but not sure where to begin? Or maybe you already have a practice and want to deepen it in a peaceful, supportive setting? Join staff every Monday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in September for Community Meditation Nights at Buckeye Ridge Rescue & Retreat. Each week, you’ll explore a different piece of meditation and mindfulness, combining approachable conversation, practical tools, and a guided meditation you can carry into your everyday life. No experience is needed. Simply come as you are, find a comfortable spot, and give yourself an hour to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.
September 7th | Beginning Your Meditation Practice
You’ll start with the basics—what meditation is (and isn’t!), common myths, the benefits of a regular practice, intentional breathing, and how to create an environment that works for you. They’ll close with a guided Soul Awareness Meditation.

September 14th | Mindfulness & Intentional Living
Discover what mindfulness really means and how it extends beyond meditation. You’ll explore moving from “autopilot” to more intentional living, revisit breathwork, and practice a guided 5 Senses Meditation.

Their Community Meditation Nights will lead into a one-day Meditation Retreat, giving you the opportunity to take everything you’ve practiced and explore it on a deeper level. Participants in Community Meditation Nights will receive $10 off the November retreat. More retreat details are coming soon! Come for one evening, join them for all four, or make this the beginning of a new practice. Breathe. Connect. Repeat. For more information, please visit Buckeye Ridge’s Facebook page.
