Meditation Training 2.0 : Mindfulness & Working with the Five Hindrances (Online)
Feb

to Mar 18

Meditation Training 2.0 : Mindfulness & Working with the Five Hindrances (Online)

A 7-week practice and study course designed to enrich your meditation, making it easier to bring the fruits of your practice into everyday life.

This follow-up series to Meditation “1.0” will offer an extensive investigation for meditators by incorporating the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. Specifically, we will learn how we have been conditioned to perceive and react, also learning about how to work with the Five Hindrances. With this knowledge, it will be easier to put into practice how to be with and respond to strong emotional and mental states.

DATE
February 4th - March 18th, 2026.

7 Wednesdays: February 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th and March 4th, 11th, 18th.

Precepts for Skillful Engagement in Turbulent Times (Online)
Feb
12
to Mar 19

Precepts for Skillful Engagement in Turbulent Times (Online)

  • Google Calendar ICS

A 6-week practice and study course to help us establish a shared space for exploring the nuances of living with love-centered values in our complex times.

In these turbulent times, a group of us Dharma teachers would like to offer this series to engage with these fundamental 5 Precepts:

Not Killing / Promote Non-Harming

Not Stealing / Promote Mutuality

Not Misusing Sexuality / Promote Intimacy

Not Lying / Promote Honoring Truths

Not Intoxicating / Promote Clear Heart-Mind

(Week 6: Onward Commitment & Support to Enacting Our Values)

In Buddhist practice, the Precepts are offered as a means to protect oneself and others from careless actions of body, speech and mind. When we live, committed to being guided by these values in tangible ways, the possibility for loving interactions rises.

Our aim is to create a community/sangha in which we can receive guidance from Buddhist teachings, establish a shared space for exploring the nuances of living with these values in our complex times, and then have a “take-away” practice and set of precepts to nourish us for the coming week.


You are invited to join for the full series or as a drop-in. Please be prepared for a variety of practices. Also note, BIPOCs voices and experiences are forwarded.

Embracing Change: Zen & the Art of Creating a Life You Want

Would you like to be more settled, intentional & mindful as you re-engage with the world?

Change can be hard; even if it’s something we want or are excited about.

At times like these, pausing to connect to teachings both from Zen Buddhism and from the motivational field can help. Join Rev. Liên for a daylong workshop in which we’ll explore how to incorporate both meditative practices and behavior-change skills in order to find stability and centeredness; to support you to be fully present and aware for whatever comes your way.
