Hi everyone, I find myself here after moving from Martial Arts to Zen and finding myself wanting to delve deeper into my practice. Is there anyone here from the Montreal area ? :namaste:

Montreal is a beautiful place but I don't live there currently.

This might help in finding a Theravada group in your town. Welcome to the forum! Do you practice Zen still or are you moving towards Theravada?

I find my practice moving towards Theravada, I attended a few Zendo's in Montreal but they never really clicked. Presently my practice is mostly solitary at home and getting out to a sangha is proving challenging as I have children and one with a disability that requires a lot of attention. All that being said I did a find a group that sits on Sunday afternoons, and even though they are kind of far from me (I live way out from the city) I plan on trying to make that connection and sit with a group of like-minded people.

Hello Brian,
I'm in Montreal as well and I am interested in the group you spoke of which meets on Sunday afternoons. There is so many readings and information available online but I am wanting to find some like minded people to meet with. Could you give me some contact details for the group?
Thanks,
Geoff

Hello Brian!

I live in Montreal and I'm looking for a group also. I was able to find some addresses and I'll go visit all of them (or almost). Like you, I don't live in the city (island), but a bit outside. Every practice that starts very early in the morning would be a challenge ;)

But I've been practicing alone for quite a long time now and I notice my motivation is getting a bit... :thinking: difficult
