A CAUCUS OF NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
Spiritual Caucus
at the United Nations
September 17; October 1
regular meetings:
The Spiritual Caucus supports the aims of the United Nations as expressed in the Preamble to the UN Charter.
We seek to balance and strengthen the endeavors of the UN system and its affiliates with inner reflection and stillness.
We meet from September to June at the UN Headquarters and via Zoom to spend time together in silent reflection, share our insights, and explore ways of using this inner focus to serve the highest potential of the UN.
Anyone interested in supporting the UN in this way is welcome to join us. We invite groups and individuals who cannot be with us in person to connect with us in silence wherever you are when we meet.
The next Regular Meetings for Silence will be held via Zoom:
Thursday September 17, 2026 , 2.00 to 3.15 PM.
The next time for silence in the Meditation Room at UN HQ in New York is October 1, 2026, 12.00 - 12.45pm, for periods of 10 - 30 minutes.
On the first Thursday of the month, from October to June, we meet in the Meditation Room at the UN HQ in New York, from 12:00 – 12:45 pm. We spend 10-30 minutes in silence together, followed by optional conversation in the nearby cafe afterwards.
On the third Thursday of the month, from September to June, we meet via Zoom from 2:00 to 3:15 pm. During the meeting we spend thirty minutes together in silent reflection.
