Best Meditation Events in NYC

Team building in New York City doesn’t always have to mean ropes courses or competitive cooking classes.

For a refreshing twist, why not try a group meditation session? New York City is packed with meditation classes that calm the mind and bring teams closer together. Here are some of the best team-building meditation experiences in NYC that will leave everyone feeling zen and connected.

1. Stretch and Relax: the Power of Group Stretching

We all know how much sitting at a desk (or on Zoom calls!) can make us feel stiff and sore. A group stretching session is the perfect way to start a team-building event. Many studios in NYC offer guided stretching classes designed to release tension and prepare the body for meditation. Imagine an hour where everyone is led through gentle, feel-good stretches that increase circulation and get those muscles moving again. It’s a bonding experience, too—everyone in sync, letting go of stress together.

3. Meditative Painting: Creativity Meets Calm

If your team loves to tap into their creative side, consider meditative painting! This isn’t your typical paint-and-sip—it’s a relaxed, mindful approach to painting where each brushstroke becomes a chance to unwind and express emotions. Team members can paint individually, focusing on their own canvas, or work together on a shared masterpiece. There’s no need for artistic skill; it’s all about enjoying the flow, letting creativity and mindfulness take center stage.

Meditative Painting 101

Creating artwork is an active meditation, and meditation is proven to be excellent for our health. With step by step guidance, learners will access an inner-peace through exploratory art exercises that soothe the soul. Each class has a unique theme that nurtures personal growth and deepens a meditative flow state such as “Process, Not Product, " "The Art of Letting Go, ” “Embracing Change, ” and “Courage to Enter the Unknown.” 

4. Chakra Sound Bath: a Sonic Journey Together

A chakra sound bath is the ultimate immersive experience for teams. During a sound bath, participants lie back as gongs, crystal bowls, and other instruments are played to create a deep, resonant soundscape. The vibrations are said to align the body’s chakras, leaving everyone with a sense of balance and well-being. For teams, a sound bath offers a unique way to unwind, relax, and bond in a serene, shared experience.
