CONNECT WITH KINDNESS | Sundays 10-11:30 am |
Life can often feel intense — career pressure, social media comparison, busy schedules, and relationships that don’t always feel stable. When you don’t recognize the kindness around you, it’s easy to feel disconnected, stressed, or like you have to do everything on your own.
In this short, practical meditation series, you’ll learn how to shift your perspective. By recognizing the kindness of others—even in small, everyday ways—you can start to feel more supported, positive, and connected.

Class Topics
May 31: A Better Way to See the People in Your Life
June 7: Feeling Connected in a Disconnected World

FINDING BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE | MAY SERIES | Sundays 10-11:30 am |
Life can be both inspiring and demanding. Between work, relationships, technology, and constant change, it’s easy to feel pulled in many directions.
In this four-week meditation course, you’ll learn practical ways to develop a calm, balanced mind that stays steady no matter what’s happening around you.
Through guided meditations and simple contemplations, each class explores how to respond to life with equanimity rather than habit, helping you experience more ease, perspective, and inner balance—both on and off the meditation cushion.

Each class will help you:
– Stay steady instead of being pulled around by stress, emotions, or circumstances
– Respond to challenges with less reactivity and more peace
– Cultivate a balanced, centered state of mind you can return to anytime

Class Topics
May 3: Not Getting Pulled Around
May 10: Less Reacting, More Peace
May 17: Staying Centered in Daily Life
May 24: Make Life Feel Balanced

A PATH TO RESILIENCE | FREE EVENT! | Sat Feb 21, 10am-11:30 am |

Special Talk with Michael Racadio

Our fast paced modern life can often become overwhelming and we can find ourselves not knowing how to navigate the challenges. How can we navigate the demands of our life with our need for inner peace and wellbeing? Amitayus practice serves as a practical method to enhance our mind and body.
Through his practice and blessings we can relate differently to time, burnout, aging, and the pressure to constantly optimize ourselves—inviting a life that is not just longer, but deeper and more alive. In each session, we will engage in the practice called The Yoga of Buddha Amitayus.
