Everyone is welcome — no experience needed.

Silent Saturday: Tech-Free Retreat

These half-day retreats — gentle, peaceful meditations, unplugged from the digital world — are super helpful in our modern age, and we warmly invite you to take advantage of them. You will be introduced to and guided in three 45-minute meditation sessions, focused on breathing meditation, pacifying our busy thoughts, and the peaceful clarity of our own mind.

Treat yourself to a well earned and much needed break, and learn some practical skills for keeping this peace going back at home and at work. Beginners or more experienced meditators, everyone is welcome to join us.

The Path to Pure Happiness – Monthly Lamrim Class

We all want to grow and experience greater peace and happiness. But real progress comes from following a clear and practical spiritual path — one that can be integrated into the realities of modern life. In these monthly classes, we will explore a special presentation of the stages of the path to enlightenment, known as Lamrim. First taught by the 11th-century Indian Buddhist master Atisha, Lamrim offers a clear and systematic guide to transforming our mind and our life through meditation and developing our wisdom. Whether you are new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, each class will explore a different aspect of these teachings, with practical advice drawn from The Mirror of Dharma. There will also be a tea break with time for discussion, followed by Heart Jewel Prayers and a guided Lamrim meditation.
