Thursday Evenings With
Doug Pullin 7:30-9:15pm
The evening includes guided and silent sitting in the practice that
leads to insight or Vipassana mind. This is the mindfulness meditation
practice that was taught by the Buddha over 2500 years ago. The focus
of Doug's teaching is on the cultivation of compassion, loving-kindness
and wisdom through the practice of being fully present for the ever
changing joys and sorrows of life. In addition to traditional mindfulness
meditation, there is also an opportunity for informal discussion and
for questions related to practice. The Dharma discussion is in a small
group setting. Open to beginning and advanced students alike.
The group meets in the living room behind the main meditation hall. Enter through
the kitchen door on the left side of the building.

Half-day, full-day and extended-length retreats are also available from time to time.
