If there is no meditation group in your area you may feel called to start a group yourself. Being a Group Leader and facilitating a group is a wonderful way to share the gift of meditation.

To get started:

• Contact your local Area Team member to let them know what you are planning and ask for their support. See https://wccm.uk/wp-content/uploads/newsletters/_Contacts.pdf.

• Attending an Essential Teaching Workshop is a great preparation for starting a group. You could ask your Area Team member or the UK Office (uk@wccm.org) whether there are any planned in your local area or online.

• Have a look at ‘A Pearl of Great Price’ published by Medio Media https://mediomedia.com/products/mmpea2 and the ‘Start a Group’ resources on the International website https://wccm.org/teaching-resources/start-a-group/.

• Offering an introductory course can be a good way to get a new group. See details of the new ‘Four Week Introductory Course here: https://wccm.org/teaching-resources/introductory-four-week-course/

• Contact the WCCM in the UK Office (uk@wccm.org) for further information on starting a group and ask for a registration pack. The pack contains lots of helpful information to get your group started.
