About our Practice

The Marfa Meditation Circle, located in the far West Texas town of Marfa, started to form in 2008 with 2 people meeting once a week to support each other’s practice. Since then people from around the world have joined us, sitting peacefully together, enjoying silence, dharma teachings, and each other’s mutual support and company.
