South County Meditation Group



Gudrun Hus at Tierra Nueva Cohousing

1750 Tierra Nueva Lane

Oceano CA 93445

The South County Meditation Group meets in Oceano on Sunday mornings from 9am - 10:15am for meditation and study in the Gudrun Hus studio at Tierra Nueva Cohousing, adjacent to the town of Halcyon (see Maps at bottom of page) (see Brochure) (see YouTube Channel).

Our meditation practice is informed by the wisdom tradition of Buddhism. All levels of meditation experience are welcome, and it is not necessary to be an active participant
** of White Heron Sangha to attend. If someone is new to meditation, and new to the group, the facilitator, or one of our group members, may guide the meditation for the first 10 minutes or so.

We are a peer-led group, in the tradition of kalyanamittata ("admirable friendship", or "spiritual friends").

The usual meeting format is: start with reading the Beginning Practice, meditate for 30 minutes, read the Ending Practice, then announcements and discussion. On the first and third Sundays of each month, we extend the meditation period to 45 minutes.


Books that we have studied include:

** Clarification on WHS use of the concept and term, "member": This WHS website is powered by ClubExpress® membership management software; however, WHS itself is not a membership nonprofit organization inasmuch as there are no voting members. Also, WHS is not a Buddhist temple, and WHS is not a Buddhist church. White Heron Sangha is a California nonprofit religious corporation, without members (Bylaws, Article 7). Where the words "member", "members" and "membership" appear on the pages of this WHS website, WHS intends for these terms to be interpreted as "active participant".
