Meditation has many benefits including stress reduction, increased capacity for joy, and a more satisfying relationship to self and others. This Spring, we invite you to deepen or re-commit to your meditation practice.

Designed to accommodate our busy schedules, lunchtime classes are 30 minutes and a wonderful way to connect with the peace that is available to all of us, any time of day.

Join us this coming week of April 3rd—all lunchtime meditation classes will be offered free of charge. Invite a friend, all are welcome and no meditation experience is necessary!

Increasing Our Compassion

Nyungnay Fasting & Purification Retreat

Saturday, April 8th 

With Resident Teacher, John Baker

Nyungnay is a special retreat which is done in conjunction with the Buddha of Compassion spiritual practice. Through fasting and physical prostration we can understand the sufferings of others and increase our compassion for them, as well as purify our own negative karma. On the day of this retreat we abstain from all meals except for a vegetarian lunch and drink only water. Do you have questions about this practice? Email us.

Steering Your Life in a Meaningful Direction

Introduction to Tantra

Saturday, May 6th 

With Special Guest Teacher, Gen Kelsang Demo

Buddha’s Tantric teachings and meditations are all about taking charge of our own identity and steering it in a meaningful direction. By imagining ourselves as more loving, more compassionate and more wise we can break free of our own mundane appearances and ideas, and awaken our vast potential for happiness. Through special Tantric meditation methods, we can develop both our wisdom and our compassion until they produce a bliss so powerful that it completely purifies our mind and we quickly attain enlightenment. In this day course you will learn what Tantra is, why we need it and how to practice it for yourself. Everyone Welcome, no experience necessary.
