"Grateful for this place to be connecting. Being still with this group through collective consciousness has deepen the meditation practice. This is a safe haven to be in silence and learn internally about the self. Directly experience it and welcome home." - E

"I've been meditating on my own for a while now, but I'm so glad I found Long Beach Meditation. I go to the Monday night class and love the instruction by Franz! My mind often wanders off so his use of the bell definitely helps me feel grounded and come home to the present.

I've invited friends to join me and they all tell me how great it was for them too!! Looking forward to participating in other events! Franz is such a great instructor! His voice is so soothing and perfect for guided meditation.

"Just show up, do the work, and directly experience it for the self. This place is home to tap inwards. Trust. We continue to learn and serve as we self actualize. Thank you LBM." - Sienna M.

"I partnered with LB Meditation to lead a mindfulness session at a company meeting. We were led by Master Teacher, Jane, and she was a strong and powerful force. Her strength is very quiet and reflective - exactly the kind of counter balance our company needed. Not only did she walk us through two powerful exercises in our 45 minutes together, but she also gave us a real world application to leverage after our time together. One week later, my team is still talking about this experience. Thank you!" - Torey C.

"This organization provides guided meditation, yoga, retreats, and talks by teachers from various traditions- they also offer off-site retreats and classes. I have learned so much from the teachers and the programs I can clearly say they have improved my life and helped me become a better person. It's more than just classes, it's a community and place to spend positive and reflective time for self-improvement." - Edward E.
