In the Rastafari tradition, meditation is a path to inner knowing (I&I). At the Healing Grove, we gather in silence and sound – from Nyabinghi drum meditation that grounds the spirit, to silent sitting that quiets the mind. Our guided sessions draw on ancestral African and Ethiopian contemplative practices, offering a space to return to yourself.
Cushions and mats are provided. All are welcome – from first-timers to experienced practitioners. No need to bring anything but an open heart.
“Meditation is the still point where we remember who we are beyond thought. From that place, we heal.”
— Binghi Collective, Lead Meditators

“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited, there can be no peace.”
Meditation is the foundation of inner peace, and inner peace radiates outward. Join us in stillness.
