Hello everyone, so glad to find this tribe :)

I am very interested in meditation and I am wondering if there are any meditation groups or schools near Albany that don't necessarily get too religious. I'm a bit of a Taoist I suppose, so I'm looking for somewhere that I don't have to bow to statues or sign up with any particular dogma in order to have a good meditation. I could use some instruction or just a good environment to practice in. I go to the Taoist Center once a month for their meditation meetings and I love it, they use gongs which really helps me to clear my mind, but I would like to train my mind more often.

So if anyone can suggest a group or place to check out I would appreciate that greatly. Thank you :)
