Fellowship Groups

Spiritual companionship around the world

A Blue Mountain Center of Meditation fellowship group provides regular spiritual companionship with people who are seriously committed to Eknath Easwaran’s eight-point program of passage meditation. This page lists our fellowship groups around the world.

If you are meditating regularly using Easwaran’s method, we encourage you to contact the group nearest you – or, if you are traveling, you may call the coordinator at your destination and arrange to attend.

For more information, call the coordinator in your area or call us at 800.475.2369. To contact a coordinator by email, use the link appearing after his or her name.

You can also display this information on a map.
