December 6, 2025  –  Hours: Saturday check-in is from 10:00 am (PT) to 10:15 am (PT)  End time: Saturday 4:00 pm (PT)

Please join us for a day of silence, reflection and the nourishment of spiritual friendship. Sangha – the community of Buddhist practitioners – is indispensable on our path. It is said that the dharma is transmitted from warm hand to warm hand. The intensity of the world requires that we have places of refuge, where the sincerity and good will of others soothes our hearts. Sangha is such a refuge.

The day will include silent and guided meditation periods, walking meditation, a dharma talk and opportunities for dialogue. All are welcome.
