Biweekly on Tuesdays

Metta Sangha 2026

Join us as we gather in community and practice lovingkindness together as a way to explore compassion, the power of love, joy in the happiness of others, and balance of mind experienced as equanimity. This practice is not a replacement for other actions we undertake as we try to make this a better world; it’s an affirmation of the forces that strengthen and empower us to keep doing whatever we can in the face of challenge and adversity.

A Monthly Gathering

Nature Sangha 2026

Thai Forest Meditation teacher Ajahn Chah said, “If you know nature, you’ll know Dhamma. If you know Dhamma, you’ll know nature.” Deepening our relationship with the natural world can support our knowing more intimately Nature as teacher, refuge and path. Join us as we will explore monthly themes that include nature as Dhamma, practicing in nature, ecological activism, climate grief and more. This monthly gathering is open to anyone inspired by and drawn to practicing in and with the natural world.

A Monthly Gathering on Thursdays

Insight Recovery Sangha 2026

The emphasis of this fellowship is on how craving causes suffering and how cultivating insight into the nature of craving can greatly ease our suffering, and help us lead more peaceful and contented lives. We have no affiliations with any other organizations and this is not a 12-Step group, although various known addiction recovery modalities may be referred to from time to time.

Walt Opie & Dalila Bothwell

A Semi-Monthly Gathering

Parenting as the Path

The potential for awakening is not dependent on one’s life situation. And yet, we may have the idea that being a parent is an impediment to deep practice. This class series, taught by two parents, is meant to highlight and celebrate the many ways that being a parent has the potential to be, in and of itself, a powerful awakening experience. We will gather inspiration through sharing stories; practicing, reflecting, and playing together; and remembering the wisdom of parents walking the path before us.
