6:00-6:30 Sutra study. This is more fun than it sounds. A teacher will read a short Sutra (Lesson from the Buddha) and discuss it.
6:30-7:00 Check-in. (Optional) Everyone checks in with how life is going. We have several standard questions and one wildcard question picked by a member of the group. This gets very real as this is a safe space where you can really let it all hang out.
7:00-7:30 Meditation. Thirty minutes of just sitting, observing whatever arises without judgment and without effort. If you're new to meditation, we will give some instruction.
If 6:00 a.m. is too early, please show up with you can. (If you show up after 7, you may have to wait a bit until someone sees you're in the waiting room.)
Everyone who has participated in this group has a story about how it has made their lives more peaceful. Showing up is the first step. Then just keep showing up. That's all you need to do. After some time, you may notice life getting just a bit easier.
All are welcome to be a part of our morning service. Experience not necessary. Those of any faith or lack thereof are welcome. All that is required is an open mind to learn how to promote wellness, happiness, love, and peace to oneself and all sentient beings.

Four different teachers will rotate talks with a Dharma talk, meditation, sutra, and metta practices. 🙏
