Free meditation classes in Chicago

..and other spiritual activities of the Chicago Sri Chinmoy Centre

Since Sri Chinmoy’s passing, his students around the world continue to express his philosophy in numerous ways. Primarily, we offer free meditation classes and weekend intensives for the public where we guide people through the art of breathing, concentration, mental focus, japa, meditation and contemplation. Our instructors show how meditation can be integrated into everyday life and how it can be used to overcome problems and stress.

Class schedule: Ongoing. Each series consists of 4 classes. Each evening builds on the previous session so your participation in all 4 classes is encouraged.

Running for Peace

The Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run is a global relay that seeks to promote international friendship and understanding.As a symbol of harmony, runners carry a flaming torch, passing it from hand to hand, traveling through over 100 nations around the globe.

The Peace Run does not seek to raise money or highlight any political cause, but simply strives to create good will among peoples of all nations. The Run arrives in Chicago at least once every two years, and our members work very hard to give a nice experience both to the team of runners and the people they visit.
