Dear friend, welcome!

Wake Up New York is a group of young adults practicing mindfulness and meditation, inspired by the teachings on engaged Buddhism of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We aspire to be a place of refuge, nourishment and support for anyone with an aspiration to transform their own suffering and cultivate compassion, understanding, and love.

We meet in-person every Friday evening from 7:30PM – 9:30PM near Union Square in Manhattan. We also organize social events and retreats to connect outside of our Friday evening gatherings.

Weekly Friday Gathering (no previous experience needed)

Entry: 34 W 15th St FL 3, New York, NY 10011. Please buzz up to the 3rd floor upon arrival and mention Wake Up to be admitted. Please remove shoes and silence cell phones upon entry. 

Typical schedule:
Sitting meditation (20-25 min)
Walking meditation or deep relaxation (10-15 min)
Reading or Dharma talk (15-20 min)
Dharma sharing (30-45 min)

Consider staying afterwards for informal social time.
