Weekly evening meditation (Harajuku)

About this event

Weekly Evening Meditation — Harajuku Community Center Join our weekly evening meditation in a peaceful community space near Harajuku — a quiet pause in the middle of Tokyo. We are an international group, from beginners to experienced practitioners. Everyone is welcome. *** ‍♀️ About the Meditation Club Think of this as a meditation club — similar to a running club. Just as runners train for physical well-being, we meet regularly to cultivate mental clarity, presence, and inner stillness. Meditation grows through consistency and shared practice. Sitting together in silence often makes it easier to relax, learn naturally from one another, and deepen awareness. Occasionally, we explore practical or scientific perspectives on meditation (such as EEG brainwave tracking), but the main focus is simply being present together. *** ✨ Weekly Schedule (19:00 – 21:00) 19:00 — Arrival & welcome 19:00 – 19:15 — Introduction and gentle stretching 19:15 – 19:30 — Preparation practice (Breathwork / pranayama, chanting, walking meditation, guided meditation or simple awareness exercises depending on the week) 19:30 – 20:30 — Silent meditation (25 minutes × 2 sessions with a short break) 20:30 – 21:00 — Optional sharing & Indian herbal tea We begin by preparing the body, calming the breath, and then resting in silence. This simple sequence has been passed down through centuries of yoga because a relaxed body and steady breath naturally support meditation. *** Fee Free to join. We rent the community space (400 JPY per room), so regular participants are welcome to help share the cost if they wish. *** About the Meditation Style There is no fixed method. You are welcome to practice in your own way: • Zen • Vipassana • Self-inquiry • Breath awareness • Or simply sitting quietly If you are new, we are happy to suggest simple techniques such as breath counting. *** Who This Is For • Want to meditate regularly • Are interested in meditation and yoga • Are open to diverse styles and practitioners • Are interested in the scientific side of meditation (e.g., EEG) • Appreciate quiet, simple practice without pressure *** Contact Feel free to reach out if you have questions or would like to join. Also we have a dedicated LINE group where regular members join there from and so mostly likely you will find a few other people in meditation session ;)
