Open Sky addresses the diversity of New York City by offering Buddhist teachings and meditation practice in an open and inclusive environment.

My goal is to provide you with an eclectic and practical experience of Buddhist teachings by presenting them in a way that is accessible and relates to our modern day circumstances.

Open Sky provides a space for meditation instruction and practice, dharma talks and discussions, and mutual support. 

We have two LGBT-focused meetings per month called "Queer Sangha"

We are open to newcomers, seasoned Buddhists, and everyone in between. Everyone is valuable and everyone is welcome.

I am an ordained Buddhist Minister and Life Coach. You can read more about me at www.LawrenceGrecco.com
