Margate
Meditation Center
Margate’s blue waterways and soft, gentle breeze provide an inviting environment for a welcome change of pace. So too, the Margate BK Meditation Center provides a spiritually rich environment for change at a deeper, spiritual level. The Margate Center focuses on the development of the ‘Whole Person’ and, as such, offers a variety of courses and programs in meditation, positive thinking, anger management, stress-free living, and conflict resolution skills. These programs are all aimed at the development of mind, heart, and spirit, and are offered free of charge to all residents of Margate and surrounding cities such as Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Fort Lauderdale, Lauderhill, Sunrise, Plantation, and Davie. The goal is to be better equipped with the tools to thrive, rather than just survive, in the current fast-changing world climate.
