Downtown Oakland meditation center rooted in socially engaged Buddhism
East Bay Meditation Center was founded in 2007 in downtown Oakland and draws on Buddhist and other contemplative traditions, inspired by socially engaged Buddhism. It hosts weekly sanghas including a peer-led midday silent sit, an LGBTQIA+ sangha, a BIPOC sangha, a disability-focused group and a parent-caregiver group. It also runs class series, daylong retreats and year-long practice programs, and secured a building at 2406 Webster Street in 2023.
