Went to a Guru Purnima group silent meditation in suburban NJ the other evening 
–Summit, Shorthills, Maplewood, Chatam area.  Gathering of people from a couple 
different yoga studios for an evening meditation as a group.  Eclectic 
gathering of different mature meditator folks for a nice group silent 
meditation.  Really nice field effect in an amalgam of some  Gurumayi 
meditators, chopra meditators, oprah, Quaker, centering, Buddhist, meditators, 
and a couple people who learned meditation in recent times through TM center in 
the NJ area.  Ecumenical silent meditation together in a room for a long 
meditation one evening after the workday.   
 
Also Looking in now on a guru Purnima meditation retreat hosted by Karunamayi 
also in NJ just across from NYC.  About 400 practiced meditators from New 
England and Canada with some coming from the West also.  Mature eclectic 
demographic of practiced meditators for a several day retreat practicing in 
long silent meditations as a group.  .. it's a nice cultivated spiritual group 
effect. 
 
Demographics of both these groups meetings are middle-aged and at least 
middle-class.  Not many millennials  to see in the group though the meditation 
retreat does cost money and afforded some time including a weekday workday to 
go to, but are not many millennials to be seen.  Both groups age-wise were 
generally younger (middle-age) than what we more commonly see in our Fairfield 
meetings of older greying baby-boom meditators.  -JaiGuruYou
