I'm thinking of going to a Buddhist meditation group, but I never been to one and want to know what it's like. Does anyone have any insight? I think it would be nice to connect with other people in my community and maybe make a friend with the same belief. I don't know a whole lot of Buddhism, but I've read it isn't considered a religion, but a type of teaching so that seems to suit me.

If you don't meditate I highly recommend it. A lot of yoga facilities incorporate meditating so if you don't have a group near your location you can at least do it during a yoga session or at home.
