With JIM DALTON (he/him)

​

Reach out and connect for an evening of meditation and connection. How will we connect? We know how to do this. For centuries groups of people have banded together and supported each other through wars, famines and epidemics. Today’s situation is unique and seemingly overwhelming, but we know how to work with feelings and thoughts. We know how to build a circle of empathy. We know how to still the mind. All cultures have developed skills and rituals to summon the interior forces to face the challenges we all face as fragile human beings. Each one of us contributes to this ancient resilience and wisdom. Let’s begin. 

This is an invitation to fill your electronic screen with faces and smiles and listen to how your friends are coping with our current challenges. We will be creating a group mindfulness session, including quiet sitting, guided meditation, mindful movement and time for discussion and questions. Please be compassionate with yourself and your friends. Use this virtual tool to stay connected while we are seemingly separated one from another.

With ALEXA REDNER​

​​

All self-identified women and non-binary people are invited to gather in community to explore the dharma, share our wisdom and cultivate a brave and tender space of belonging.

Each meeting will include a period of meditation, followed by a brief dharma offering to seed inquiry, and time for small and larger group sharing. This will be an ongoing, in-person group that will meet Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8pm.
(There may be potential to open this group up to a hybrid online and in-person format in the
near future)

With DOUG PULLIN (he/him)

​

Led by Doug Pullin, the evening will include guided and silent meditation, a Dharma talk and a blessing circle (sharing wishes of wellbeing, love and compassion in a supportive group). Join in-person at the Center or online with the Zoom link below.

​

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.
