About
We are a local Buddhist community grounded in the insight meditation tradition.
Our mission is to help us all awaken and free ourselves from suffering by being a resource to learn about meditation and Buddhism. We offer a welcoming, inclusive space for practice.
We encourage participation in our community, enabling us to build a caring sangha which supports our members as well as the larger community.
We value all people, and realize that we can learn to examine limiting beliefs, assumptions and prejudices about others, in order to increase harmony.
We welcome all people and wish to include all races, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, classes, religions, abilities and ages. We are committed to providing a safe place for all people to explore the dharma and awaken.
