Starting a club about this in college

2 posts in this topic

Hello friends.

I am disappointed with my schools lack of spirituality and self actualization in the student organizations. 

There is a meditation club registered, it has not met this semester at all.

There is a buddhism club registered, it has never met as far as I know.

There IS a yoga club, and it's pretty popular and well run, but it's just yoga, it's not really a community for sharing or learning.

Of course there's a ton of christian and religious organizations but those don't fit for me and a lot of other people.

I would love for a community like the one on this forum to be in the form of a club meeting. I am thinking about starting a club at my school, but I don't know what to name it, or what the format of meetings should be. Could you help me choose? I am enthusiastic about buddhism and meditation, but I am not knowledgeable enough on buddhism yet to teach it. I think group meditations would be nice, but also might alienate some people, and meditating in chairs in a class room is not really the best way to meditate. Perhaps some sessions on educational topics like mindfulness, self affirmations, etc, but I'd also like it to be fun and not just me lecturing a group of people that I get together. What could bring people together? Any thoughts or ideas?

Are you familiar with the 'Enlightenment Intensives'? It is a type of self-inquiry done in pairs. It is really good not only for inquiring into the Self, but all kinds of contemplations.
