This Sunday: Guest Teacher, Carole Melkonian
Sunday, September 6

10:00am - 12:00pm

Offered In-Person & Online via Zoom

Join us this Sunday, September 6, for our Sunday Program with guest teacher Carole Melkonian. Carole will lead the morning with a guided meditation and a Dharma reflection on Compassionate Embodied Presence: Though we may be lost in thoughts and emotions, the body is always here and now. One sutta refers to the body as a stable pillar—a place where the mind can find ground instead of being swept along by the senses or by its own internal loops. Practicing mindfulness of the body with compassion and care allows us to respond to our experience instead of react.
