Still ROC
Twice a week, a room goes quiet — in person on Sundays, online at dawn on Mondays.
Sit times. Online links. Inspiration. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
Still ROC is a community-led meditation practice welcoming to all traditions and none. Grounded in wisdom, awake in mindfulness, and held in silence, our intentional cooperative makes space for the simple act of showing up. No experience is required. You don't need to believe anything in particular to sit with us — just a willingness to be still for a while and allow yourself to be open to the various strands of wisdom that may arise.

As a community-led meditation practice, our regular practitioners meet in equanimity. Below is the start of a list of declared members.
James Shōun 祥雲 Lopata has kept a meditation practice for more than thirty years. Rooted in Soto Zen Maezumi lineage, his teaching incorporates wisdom encountered from practicing in many rivers, including Roman Catholic Jesuits and the study of comparative religion for his Masters at Harvard Divinity. He also coaches leaders, writes plays, and is, by his own admission, still learning to sit still.
