From the moment of birth, we begin to age -- and the reality of aging is a core theme in the Buddha's teachings.
​
Looking back at my almost eight decades, I have witnessed many shifts in our collective view on aging and experienced aging firsthand. I'd like to share some of my reflections with our Sangha to help all of us learn to better embrace impermanence as opportunity.
​
Join us for a six-week journey into transformation, transcendence and awakening. The sessions will incorporate meditation, reflection, and short Qigong breaks as we explore the inner work and tremendous insights that come with growing older.

Join us for our Quarterly Daylong Qigong & Mindful Movement Retreat
Each quarter, we offer a Qigong workshop focused on cultivating mindfulness through the four primary bodily positions: sitting, standing, walking, and lying down — along with the transitions between them.
​
Jim will guide us through Qigong breathing and movement patterns designed to calm the body and quiet the mind. We'll pause throughout the day to reflect on mindfulness-themed poetry, and make time to simply sit together in silence.
