There will be refreshments provided after class during our Sunday Social.

These classes include both meditations and teachings based on Buddha’s wisdom that can help us to stay peaceful, even in the most challenging times. Current series topic:

Freedom from Painful Emotions: Pacifying our Anger & Frustration

Don’t let your thoughts ruin your day!  Discover why negative states of mind arise and how to use the tool of meditation to recognize, reduce, and eliminate them. Through applying Buddha’s timeless wisdom, we can transform our habits of mind from negative to positive. In each class of this series, we will look at a particular negative state of mind and learn meditations to oppose it.

To Register for Class: Please register upon arrival. We request that you arrive 10 minutes early if possible.

Cost: $12/class ($8 students/seniors 62+/unemployed).  

Your first class is always free: just let us know it’s your first class when you arrive.

You can also become a member starting at $50/month and receive discounts while you help to provide a steady level of support for our activities. These classes are included in your membership!
