New Offering - Discussion about Awakening
Due to popular demand, our monthly Neuroscience and Meditation discussion, held on Thursday evening, is being expanded to include all topics, including awakening, and spiritual experiences.
Do you think you have had an opening or awakening of some type? Have you had a shift in your perception of the way the world is or how “you” are? Did you want a place to share these insights?
Join us for our monthly discussion. Thursday offerings Monthly Calendar
Meditation Practice and Dharma Talk
Opening Our Hearts to Ourselves
Thursday, May 25, on Zoom

Many of us suffer from some form of unworthiness, and this comes up in meditation as well as in our lives. These mind habits can cause a lot of suffering, and make meditation more challenging. We will explore ways to disentangle from these views of ourselves, and open to compassion.
Taught by Kim Weeber, guiding teacher.
Join us on Zoom for a meditation practice at 7:00 PM, followed by a dharma talk at 7:35.
There will be a short Q&A after the talk by Kim Weeber.
Suggested donation for evening is $8 – 20. Please donate according to your means.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

Letting Go of Difficulties - Class Series
Monday, May 15 – June 19
7:00 to 8:30 PM in person and on Zoom

Mediation can incline our minds toward more peace and ease, but can also bring up difficulties. We will take a closer look at our meditation challenges through the Buddha’s teaching of the hindrances, as well as the neuroscience of how our brains work.
We will explore these challenges through discussion and practice.
Everyone is welcome.
The class will be taught by Kim Weeber.
Suggested donation for class series is $100. Please donate according to your means. If you are able to donate more, this allows others with less means to attend.
Everyone is welcome.
