Natural Meditation Initiatives
We are dedicated to increasing practical knowledge about meditation
within the general public. We offer a generous, respectful approach in
which people of widely varying meditation origins can collaborate.
We offer barrier-free access to information, in an open, culturally neutral, structure.

Meditative Literacy:
Meditative literacy includes the ability to meditate for at least 15 minutes in
a wide variety of settings, and it includes the basic ideas necessary to
maintain a practice of meditation in daily life. We join thousands of other organizations
in working to raise meditative
literacy at all levels of society. Natural Meditation Initiatives is different from most
organizations in its dedication to clearing obstacles of culture,
philosophy, authority, geography, physical handicap, and money out of the
learner's way.
