Mindfulness Meditation Centers

I had meditated and studied mindfulness for some time before stumbling upon this gem. This practice changed my direction in my studies, and Michael Gregory is an excellent teacher who explains the real purpose of meditation.

Coming Home to Mindfulness Meditation Centers.

I started as a novice meditator a decade ago, attending a Sunday foundational program here in Sarasota. There was something so appealing about the straightforwardness, clarity and accessibility of these instructions presented by Michael Gregory, founder and director of MMC, I felt confident to continue studying, and learning with the community. I have never looked back. I've continued to deepen my practice by attending weekend, ten and thirty retreats and solo retreats at the center in Palmetto Florida.

Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, MMC promises and delivers Buddha's precious teachings in a language we can understand, and in ways that support us to investigate the quality of our lives so we can come home to our hearts, and stop searching for answers.

You have stumbled upon a gem. I have such gratitude for MMC and its teachers and community. I started attending local classes over 12 years ago. The founder, Michael Gregory, is a brilliant and gifted teacher who knows how to convey Buddhism to the western mind. His sole motivation is to help people stop suffering. The community is beautiful and supportive. I have grown tremendously due to my involvement with MMC. When I first started I couldn't sit and meditate for even 5 minutes. I attended weekly local class and then weekend local retreats which evolved into attending 10-day then 30-day retreats and now am one of the teachers in the community. I would encourage anyone to attend local classes or join class on line. It is truly life changing.

This community is the most amazing, compassionate, loving group of people that have appeared in this life. The teachings are clear, concise, and all directed at stopping suffering. The retreat center location is full of life, plants, blooming flowers and a small pond all in a peaceful setting. This community has changed my life in ways I couldn't have even imagined and I wish it to benefit you.

I've studied the Buddhist path with various Tibetan and Indian teachers for over 3 decades. When I met the western born/Tibetan trained, teachers of Mindfulness Meditation Centers first in Colorado and then in Florida, over 10 years ago—I felt I had actually found the REAL DEAL. The compassionate, realized and empathetic teachings from Michael Gregory in plain English has completely demystified the extraordinary rich buddhist path. Although superlatives are easy to dismiss in the social media world of Google advertising, in this case it is no small statement to make that MMC helped me save my life, and showed me enlightenment is possible —it is simply true.
