Since 1955, The Los Angeles Meditation Ghostwriters Guild (LAMGG) has been the world's leading one-stop shop for all your meditation authoring and consultation needs!! Our mission is to help spiritual facilitators maximize their potential as inspirational and succinct guides into the transcendent zones of radical love and inner wisdom! Let's face it most of us are human, and great healers don't live in remote mountain monasteries anymore, delivering precious herbs and the occasional aphorism to the nearby village every full moon! You're busy helping a new and frantic world traverse psychic dilemma and avert spiritual catastrophe via daily seminars, hourly in-store appearances, and minute-to-minute social media updates! With an increasingly voracious public beckoning you, and barely any time left for your own self-maintenance, how could anyone expect you or any other great healer to have the time necessary to invent the next great sutra! Hold on take a deep breath. The Los Angeles Meditation Ghostwriters Guild has been turning desperation into inspiration for over 50 years, and is ready to help you glow again.
the experimental meditation center of los angeles (emcla) is a frame[work], a magic circle, a safe space, a temporary autonomous zone, a performance space, ... for the facilitation of artist-led meditations. our definition of meditation is loose, areligious, and open to many gentle forms. in fact, we believe that the notion of "experimental meditation" is redundant, in that all meditation is an experiment in shifting our perceptions. the experimental meditation center of los angeles has no center, but generally meets with small groups around los angeles.
