Midwest Buddhist Meditation Center

Good morning! I'm not sure how much this forum is frequented but hopefully I'll get it rolling. I'll try to keep it short and sweet. My name is Phil. I'm 27 years old. I've been to the MBMC once, say about a year and half ago. I truly enjoyed my time and visit. I didn't know much about Buddhism other than it seemed aligned with my principle points of view. As was recommended to me at that time, I've read as much as I could. I've educated myself a little bit and have become increasingly intrigued and am eager to visit again. As polite and generous as everyone was, I felt foolish because of my ignorance and unfamiliarity. Is there a time or place I could meet or chat with other members? This forum perhaps? A little guidance would be helpful. Thanks for your time, hopefully I'll be conversing with you soon!
