meditation circle

Group mindfulness session

A meditation circle is a group that gathers regularly to meditate together, often sitting in a circular arrangement.

The format varies—some follow guided practices, others sit in silence.

The circle shape suggests equality among participants and shared spiritual intention: I joined a meditation circle at the community center.

The term also describes the physical space where such gatherings occur.
