I had a number…read moreof hesitations and concerns about learning TM, but we eventually decided to proceed with the course despite those concerns. I'm incredibly glad that we did! Daily practice of TM has greatly improved my degree of focus and fulfillment during the work day. It's not a religion or a philosophy, but it has become as essential to my daily wellness as taking a shower. Attending a free, no-pressure intro talk was a great way for us to learn what it's all about, and to learn how it significantly differs from other forms of meditation. They do those intro talks weekly. The technique is very simple and it's effect is powerful. Even as I hope the foundation can find a model for the course to cost less and reach more people, with hindsight, I'd have paid more than I did to learn it. It's been that impactful for my family. The value is strong given the lifetime access to TM teachers internationally, group meditations, and interactions with other meditators. I'd also recommend reading the book "Strength In Stillness" before deciding either way. If you take the dive, commit to it and stick with it! It worked for us.

I started attending here this year and I finally feel like I've found my home. After experimenting around the city with various forms of meditation, it was this place that I really seem to connect to. They offer so many beginner classes that are free to all such as the Thursday evening meditation and the Wednesday Heart of Recovery. If you have something donate, you may, and if you become a member there appears to be so much available at such a low cost because access to healing should not break the bank. I am so grateful for this beautiful center.

The way of meditation is laid out clearly, step by step, with lots and lots of program support for practice and education.

The venue nor the organizer had them for guests who may have forgotten or just didn't read that part, not even for purchase. There's a Walgreens nearby so I bought some. By the time I get back, I'm told that the organizer was refusing to conduct the class because of bad energy or vibes..or something. Nothing can be done about that. We're not going to argue. However, they refused to conduct the class and refused to refund our money...almost $60 each. I received a small candle...probably less than 5 Oz. That is all. A business can choose who they service, but to refuse service and refuse a refund because of what you deem as bad energy or vibes really is horrible business and I would say unethical. It's an interesting place, but the customer service needs improvement.

You can have tea, water, or san pellegrino before diving into a stress relief meditation, emotion based training, or breathing session. Caitlin, Kirsten, and Emily are all really kind and wonderful teachers. They explain different stones with healing properties and really help you destress in the 30 minute or 1 hour session. You can come wearing your work clothes or anything you find comfortable and either lie down or sit up in a position that makes you feel comfortable during meditation and that's what I appreciate about Glow Club. I ended up purchasing the 10 credit pack after a free session and have had a solid experience. I look forward to trying some yoga in the fall when the class is available. The evening glow is probably my favorite class at the moment. The breathing class was intense for me and I would like to try it again to really get into it. I found myself forgetting to go with the rhythm during active breathing and almost falling asleep. I live and work in Silver Spring so I can only attend evening classes but these classes are great as a "cool down" post work out as well. They also help me focus on the present so hopefully they can have a similar affect on you.

As we entered the meditation room, lit red, there were multiple options for mediation seating. The soft yoga "blocks" offered were my fave, as it takes pressure off my spine. My instructor was Kirsten, she was very polite and had a great energy. Her guided mediation was focused & her voice was very calm & encouraging. I could've sat there for hours! After the session ended I talked to the owner who was very polite & enthusiastic to explain the services offered. I was excited to see that she offers quick pre-workday sessions. I definitely recommend this place!

This place has become a vital part of my weekly routine, offering a grounded and authentic environment for anyone looking to deepen their practice. The center offers a variety of ways to engage, especially the Day-Long Retreats held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. These sessions are perfect for a mid-week reset; they provide the dedicated time and space needed to quiet the mind in a way that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you are joining virtually or walking through their doors in person, the sense of peace and community is immediate. It's a rare find and deeply personal in its atmosphere. If you're in the area and looking for a supportive meditation community, I can't recommend them enough.
