awake nc ~ inspired by against the stream Against The Stream Buddhist Meditation Society (ATS) was founded in Los Angeles, California by Noah Levine author of the books : Dharma Punx; Against The Stream; and Heart of The Revolution.

I am a Buddhist, meditator, meditation leader and am involved in many social issues. Against The Stream melds my spiritual practices with social action within an international community. Awake NC is a grassroots effort that will have a profound impact on our community. The intention of awake nc ~ against the stream is to spread dharma, support and encourage alternatives to mainstream meditation techniques.

awake nc is peer-based meditation group. I envision it becoming a local center for alternative meditation and social action. As awake nc is established, we will be able to help at risk youth, prisoners, the homeless, and do hospice all over the triangle. The awake nc community will allow for the full expression of Buddha’s teachings, which is all about community and interpersonal interactions. Please contact me (awakenc@hotmail.com) if you have any questions and forward this to anyone you know who might be interested in awake nc be against the stream!
