# This Guide I'm writing this guide as an open source manual for Meditators, Facilitators, & Developers of Social Meditation. This particular guide is focused on people who are learning to facilitate the practices of Social Meditation using the Social Meditation Protocol. Content in this guide spans from 2020–2025, primarily pulling material from the Buddhist Geeks Social Meditation Facilitator Training material and from the [Interbe.ing Facilitator Training](https://game.interbe.ing/checkout/facilitation/). ### **The Facilitators Guide** This guide will cover the full range of what's involved in the process of facilitating Social Meditation. We're making it publicly available and Open Source in order to encourage the spread of good practice. We believe that if instead of making all of this only available to training members, we make it free to evreryone, that the safe sharing of these methods will be easier.\ \ \&#xNAN;***May the global wisdom commons grow & thrive!*** By [Vince Fakhoury Horn](https://vincehorn.space)\ Published on: February 2, 2025\ Last updated: February 3, 2025 --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
