Everyone is welcome to our meetings, with no experience necessary. We have no formal membership. Our approach is to use ideas and practices from the Buddhist tradition to enrich our lives. Feel free to drop in at any time. We hope you’ll find something helpful in our meetings, whether from talks, meditations or discussions.

Both our Tuesday and Thursday meditation meetings include some teaching and discussion. Either meeting is approachable for someone new to learning about Buddhism. The difference between the two meetings lies only in who leads them, David Gardiner and Karen Recktenwald (with occasional replacements), whose styles and emphases reflect their personalities.

RECORDINGS: Most of our Tuesday post-meditation Dharma talks have been recorded and are available for listening and downloading from the Guided Meditation/Dharma talks link (Several guided meditation recordings appear on top, below which are talks). The 15-20 Dharma talks in 2020 from March through July, in particular, are intended to provide an introduction to the foundations of Buddhist philosophy and practice.

First Monday Meditation: 5:30-7:30 PM (first Monday of each month)

This gathering offers more traditional elements such as recitation of verses before meditation to establish intention and of concluding verses to dedicate our practice to the benefit of all beings. The meditation often includes a visualization practice. We will do this on the first Monday of each month, in addition to our regular Tuesday meditation. Followed by discussion.
