Deepening Into Practice

With Vik Anantha (he/him)

Join Vik Anantha for a weekly practice group focused on deepening Vipassanā through sustained silent meditation in community. This offering emphasizes practice over instruction, with a simple structure to support longer periods of silence and independent practice. Designed for both experienced meditators and beginners, with resources available to help you get started.

Jim Dalton

First Mondays, 7:00pm – 8:30pm

Monday Night Guest House

With JIM DALTON (he/him)


Join Jim on the first Monday of each month for a group mindfulness session, including quiet sitting, guided meditation, and time for discussion and questions. The current theme is Dharmic Reflections on Aging in the 21st Century:

​From the moment we are born, we begin to age—an undeniable part of life. While modern views on aging have shifted, the Buddha’s teachings on suffering and impermanence remain constant. Over the coming months, we’ll explore the inner and spiritual dimensions of aging, and how to meet our own fragility and change with compassion.
