Goenka-ji was once asked, "Sometimes I feel like leaving my normal life and just staying at the meditation center. What should I do?"  His response (slightly edited below) reminded me of Awakin Circles around the world. :)
 

I would like you to live your normal life. I want to make the whole world into a meditation center, and you want to leave the world and come to the center?

What does a center mean? A place where you get some care, love, food for thought and some food for your stomach.  You can make your own home into such a meditation center -- invite people, share some insight, meditate together, offer some food.  If you do this a lot, then that home becomes a center.

I want people in the meditation centers to go out and start centers wherever they are, make their homes as lighthouse of joy, knowledge and love.
