Practice Mindfulness With Us
Featured Sessions
We are a nonprofit on a mission of delivering accessible mindfulness programs for a healthier Fairfield County. Despite the proven benefits of mindfulness, local under-resourced neighborhoods face barriers to these tools. We're breaking down those barriers with free in-person and virtual meditation sessions.

Your questions, answered.
-
There are no unsuccessful or bad meditation sessions! That's why it's called a "practice." Sitting quietly is beneficial.
-
You can keep your eyes open during the meditation, or "hooded" (half-open/half-closed), whatever helps you feel safe and relaxed.
-
Arrive just as you are. Most people sit in a chair and chairs are always available. Much of the time we will be still so you may wish to bring a light sweater, but no special clothing is required.
-
Our weekly sessions are free and open to the public. We rely on donations. Our suggested donation is $20 for our in person session and $3 for each dial-in or Zoom. If you’re willing and able, donate here!
Interested in a private program?
If you are looking for a private session, workshop or training that CMP is hosting for your nonprofit, school or library, please contact us for more information.
Mindfulness isn't a luxury, it can transform lives.
In Fairfield County, access to tools that support mental well-being isn’t readily available for all. Your support helps bridge the gap—ensuring everyone has the tools to heal, connect, and thrive. It’s a simple yet powerful investment in community well-being.
