Brief Summary:
We gather in community 365 mornings a year for a short teaching, silent meditation, and discussion. Usually, around 30 to 40 people join. You are welcome to have your video on or off, and stay for as little or as long as you like.
As we meditate in silence, you are welcome to do whatever style or technique of meditation appeals to you, although the opening talk generally draws from the Buddhist Insight Meditation tradition.
* Note that David generally leads on weekdays, and community members facilitate Sat/Sun *
