“In seven chapters Makransky delivers a solid and substantive map of ways to unleash the power of love.... Awakening through love comes with practice, and Makransky gives us plenty to work with in this helpful book. ”

Meditation Groups

Opportunities for Group Practice


Groups of people gather regularly to practice John Makransky's meditations of natural awareness and loving compassion in Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, Texas, New Mexico, California, and other parts of the United States.

These meditation groups are sponsored by The Foundation for Active Compassion, are open to the public without charge and anyone is most welcome to come. The meditations are led either by Lama John himself (in Massachusetts) or by practice leaders who have trained with him in these meditations.

The meditation group in Cambridge, Massachusetts meets at the Cambridge Friends Meeting House on the first and second Saturday of the month, 10AM to noon. For information on that or other groups in Massachusetts, New England and around the United States, please go to Foundation for Active Compassion-Meditation Groups or contact Nancy Dale: njdale [at] gmail [dot] com.
