Inspiration, meditation & community

Through the powerful tool of meditation, Buddha discovered that the actual causes of happiness lie within the mind. We can all practice meditation, as he did, and in doing so replicate Buddha’s insights directly in our own experience.

We can become an inner scientist. In the process we’ll learn how to skillfully let go of states of mind that give rise to our uncomfortable, painful feelings, and how to nurture the thoughts that give us peace of mind — wisdom, love, and compassion.

Everybody welcome! Drop into any class. Stay after for light brunch fare.
