Long Beach Candlelight Meditation

Overview

This inspiring and family-friendly, open-air event on the beach is an opportunity to cultivate inner peace. Although centered around a meditation guided by a Buddhist monk, the event does not promote any particular spiritual views. Please dress warmly as the beach gets quite cold after sundown. Chairs will be provided but we also encourage you to bring your favorite beach blanket or chair if you so desire. Public restrooms in close proximity. There is free parking in the LaVerne Ave. lot after 6 pm. There is also parking in the 54th St. lot but please note it is a pay lot until 8 pm. For more details, see the schedule below.

Ticket Options:

This event is free of charge. However, all the costs of materials including candles, lighters, and other expenses involved in running these events are supported by donations from others. If you would like to pay forward the generosity of the donors who have come before you and enabled us to run a free event, you can become a "Pay It Forward Patron" by selecting that ticket option, or you can donate a different amount by choosing the donation option. But if your situation does not allow for a donation, then it is completely fine to select the free option. Thank you for your kindness that will enable us to sustainably offer these types of free events into the future.
