MindSpace

 A Meditation Group for adults in the Millennial+ generation

Tuesdays 6:30 – 7:45 pm

In Person Only

MindSpace is an open community gathering of young adults 18-40 years of age. Through meditation we foster a clear mind, compassionate heart, and develop an intimacy with human experiences. We encourage and support each other in daily practice to embody mindfulness in everyday life. We come together with open hearts and curious, non-judgmental minds to explore meditation practices and share experiences in bringing practice to daily life. Together we create a supportive community, including everyone– from every background, race, gender identity, orientation and ability. Please email info@bozemandharmacenter.org if childcare would be helpful for you to attend this group.

Current Facilitators

Andrew Cassidy’s practice began 15 years ago through a mindfulness-based stress reduction program. A data scientist and lover of the outdoors, he values mindfulness and meditation as tools for managing stress, anxiety, and ADHD. Rooted in a spiritual and dharma-based perspective, Andrew draws inspiration from the Buddha’s teachings, emphasizing compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom in daily life. Brandon Temple is new to meditation and has been exploring mindfulness and self-inquiry over the past several years. His interest in dharma grew from an ongoing curiosity about human consciousness, and he is interested in cultivating compassion and awareness in daily life as a young adult. Hayden Pritchard
