All are welcome ~ Come any time you feel like it.
These hybrid Sunday afternoon circles begin with an hour of simple sitting, chanting, and quiet meditation. After a short transition, we sit again for conversation, reflecting in light of dharma teachings and principles on how we’re navigating the challenging time we live in, whether in personal or broader terms.
We share, listen, and reflect, while we have tea and sweets. And we take heart in being together, seeing what emerges in the circles. Donations are welcome.
The space is fully accessible and carpeted, with comfortable chairs. Bring a cushion if you prefer floor-sitting.
Open Door gatherings reflect the teachings and practices shared by Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Baba, and also insights from Joanna Macy and other dharma teachers, traditions, and lineages.
These gatherings and practices ease the heart. We cultivate stability, belonging, and the resilience be present, no present matter what arises.
The door is open, so come by when you can — to chant and be still, or for conversation. Or for both, all afternoon.
