Upcoming Study & Practice Schedule
We are a Sangha in the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, and our offerings reflect this tradition.
Our principle gatherings are Sunday mornings, when we have two practice periods. From 8:30 am to 10:00 am, we have sitting and walking meditation, followed by a reading and discussion. The second period, from 10:15 am –11:00 am, we engage in the various practices and studies shown below. The last Sunday of each month does not include a second hour. Rather, we have a recitation ceremony that begins right after meditation and our time together concludes around 10:30.
A smaller, less formal group meets Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 pm for sitting and walking meditation, followed by study and discussion. On the Thursday that follows the last Sunday of a month, a mindfulness training recitation ceremony follows sitting and walking meditation.
