Simple, but not easy…
Joining a meditation group with lessons you can jive with is key to developing your own practice.

I’ve been formally trained and teaching diverse small groups to meditate for over eight years. This includes practical applications of Buddhism in living a life with less stress.

If you’re expecting soft, flowery, new age bu****it…
We’re probably not for you.

Check it out.
Anyone can do it, I swear.
No charge, donation optional (I have day job :)

Wednesday nights 730-9 pst

Blessed Solstice! Just happens that Xmas Eve and New Year’s Eve fall on Wednesday nights this year. We’ll be there, of course. Meditation, contemplation and communication, we keep it casual. All are welcome, sober vibe, always free.

We opened the doors 7 years ago with this invitation.
Still true.

Check it out. Wednesday nights 730 Pacific
Education Meditation Communication Contemplation

No matter what, doors opened (or Zoom turned on) every Wednesday night since 2018 for anyone seeking positive change.
No politics, no new age bu****it.
Just practicing seeing this world together through the lens of Dharma.
Buddhism has this radical idea that we can experience it all with a degree of grace through wisdom and compassion. Purification through renunciation of harmful thoughts and actions (it’s more radical than it sounds).
I’ve spent the last decade learning to describe it in ways we can all grasp at ground level and test it out in real life, not ideal life. Meditation isn’t magic either, but with some practice, patience and practical instruction, everyone finds their way to befriend the experience and absorb the views of insight.

A few gems:
Do no harm, take no s**t. Kindness isn’t always nice.
What you know and what you do ain’t the same thing.
We’ll see.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Everything is how it’s supposed to be.
Nothing isn’t Dharma.

Happy birthday to us. 🎂 Thanx everyone 🙏🏼

Offering refuge through the holidays, our Wednesday night group is open to all right through the darkest days of the year.

Since 2018

Based on the book by Stephen Levine, A Year To Live: How To Live This Year As If It Were Your Last, is pleased to announce that we will once again offer this year-long course to our Sangha.

Participants of our last session (2023) report a deepening of their practice having developed wisdom and compassion in action toward living their very best lives.

You’ll never know what your last year will bring. Here’s an opportunity to embrace the reality of our own impermanence and give it a ‘hypothetical’ run through. And since each year is unique, please consider joining again if you’ve participated in the past, your experience will benefit the group.

Year To Live groups will be held separately from our weekly group and meet monthly on a Sunday.

Join our mailing list and attend the Wednesday night meetings for more info.

An invitation will be mailed out soon and enrollment will close New Year’s Eve
Cost will be voluntary as to not be prohibitive.
No previous knowledge or experience required.
Just a willingness accept reality and copy of the book.📕🤓

Comments welcome here 🙏🏼

How bout some good news for a change? Our official once-in-a-while newsletter just dropped.

So, every once in a while we sit back and survey the landscape. Reflect on the good we create together in our Sangha and send out a little something to share. An update for some, a reminder for others, a look at the past and plans for the future, a Spotlight on a few members of our group, and always...
