What is Still Hall?
Still Hall is a free online space where people sit together. Walk to a cushion, bow, count 108 mala beads, tap a wooden fish or light incense for someone nearby.
There is no chat and no account. Everyone gets a random name like Quiet Pine 07. Being next to others is the whole point, the way a library or a temple feels calmer than an empty room.
Set a timer for your own sit, or join a group sit led by a meditation center or yoga studio. When a hall reaches 50 people a new one opens, and you are seated in the fullest hall that still has room.

Questions
Why are there 108 beads?
A traditional mala has 108 beads. One round is one full pass of the ring, and many people use it to count breaths or repetitions of a short phrase.
Where does my "let go" text go?
Nowhere. It never leaves your device. When you let go, the words fade out and are erased. Other people only see a paper lantern rise from your cushion.
Is this a religious service?
No. Still Hall borrows the calm of a temple, but it offers no blessings and is not run by any religious group. Anyone is welcome to sit.
Can I talk to other people?
Only through gestures: greet, bow and sharing incense. Leaving out chat keeps the hall calm and free of spam.
Can my studio host a group sit here?
Yes. Hosts ring the bell, start a timer for everyone and turn on the breathing guide. Studios can also have a private hall. See For studios and teams.
How is Still Hall paid for?
By people who sit here and choose to tip. There are no ads inside the halls and nothing spiritual is for sale.
