Launching the Year of Meditation
I am excited to share our focus for this year on the path of mediation and mind training. The Buddha offered many wonderful practices that support a wise and easeful approach to life's ups and downs. His teaching on meditation and mental development includes techniques that support mental clarity and peace. Our hope is that by the end of 2022 you will have a kit bursting with tools on how to effectively work with your mental states, that inspires you to practice, dive deeper and engaging compassionately in as many situations as you can manage!
Padmadharini & Ananta discuss their course starting 10/15
Padmadharini and Ananta tell us about their new course starting soon!
In gratitude for a noble experiment
This month our good friends Padmadharini and Elaine sold and moved out of their home of the last few years in New Jersey. Their home was also known as the Blue Sky Retreat center, and they generously made their space available to our sangha for the last three years to hold several retreats, meetings and gatherings.
