MindSpace is a weekly gathering of adults roughly 18-35 years old, who are interested in learning about meditation, mindfulness, and Buddhism.

MindSpace started in January, 2016. We meet weekly and our mission statement is: “To foster a clear mind, compassionate heart, and develop an intimacy with human experiences. To encourage and support each other in daily practice to embody mindfulness in everyday life.” Currently we have about 15 people per weekly meeting, age ranges from 18-35, the average being early-mid 20s.

What We Are Doing and Why:

All groups at the Dharma center run on monetary donations and volunteers time. We are doing a fundraising drive to raise funds for the development of the MindSpace group which includes running future retreats, offering scholarships, and going towards rent of the space in the dharma center for our weekly gatherings. The fundraiser we are organizing is a 24 hour Mettahon on October 15-16, 6am-6am. The Mettathon is a 24-hour community event, offering teachings by local dharma teachers, silent meditation, streamed video, yoga, poetry, and other mindful activities. The goal of the Mettathon is to introduce the Bozeman community to the Dharma Center and a variety of Buddhist teachings while also fundraising for the MindSpace young adult meditation group.
