Regular Events Schedule
10am - 11am
Sunday Morning Meditation
In person and on Zoom: Meditation begins at 10 am. There is some ritual, including lighting a candle, bowing, and brief chanting that begins and ends the meditation. There are two sitting meditations, interspersed with a brief walking meditation. The session ends at 11:00.
First Sundays: We start at the same time as other Sundays but at 11 a.m. we will have a Dharma talk by a sangha member or local teacher. People can come for the whole service or simply for the talk and discussion. Vegetarian potluck following talk.
Second Sundays: Follwing the service we do a light cleaning/straightening of the space. A great way to be of service and to meet others.
Third Sundays: Meditation session starts at 10 and ends at 11 a.m., followed by discussion. The focus of the discussion is a reading which is emailed out to all on our list several days earlier.
Fourth Sundays: At the beginning of the second sitting, following the walking meditation, there is a short metta lovingkindness meditation.

Saturday: Buddhist 12 Step Group (B12) In Person and on Zoom
Buddhism and the Twelve Steps Study Group.
Cost: Free; donations are welcome
The Buddhist 12 Step Study Group (B12) explores how Buddhism and 12 Step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous ( NA, etc), can benefit and nurture each other. Both practices begin with the acknowledgement of suffering, the realization that suffering arises from craving, and that there is a solution. The path of the 12 Steps and the Noble Eightfold Path travel through remarkably similar territory and have much to offer each other.
We meet every Saturday from 7:00-8:30 pm. Following a brief welcoming discussion and introduction period, there is a 20 minute guided meditation followed by reading and discussing books that connect Buddhism and the 12 Steps. We close with a lovingkindness practice.
No dues or fees; no need to pre-register.
No meditation experience or particular faith or spiritual practice is required. Neither is membership in a twelve step program. We are simply people exploring the path out of the suffering brought about by craving and clinging in whatever form it arises.
