What we’re about
Anyone interested in starting or furthering their mindfulness/meditation practice.
While this tradition is Buddhist, you do not need to be a Buddhist to join nor will anyone try to 'convert' you. The teachings are practical and relevant to anyone seeking to bring more mindfulness into their lives.
Most of the events listed are at the SF Dharma Collective - https://sfdharmacollective.org/. Most classes are offered in our beautiful space, 2929 24th Street in the Mission of San Francisco. Most classes are also accessible via Zoom.
We are a community-run meditation center seeking to make meditation accessible to everyone. We wish to create and sustain communities of healthy, accountable, wise and compassionate people from every walk of life. We welcome people from all racial, economic, sexual, social, political and religious backgrounds and believe that the path of awakening is attainable by all and should be available to all.
All are events are freely available to all, and we ask for donations as you are able to sustain our teachers and our operational costs. https://sfdharmacollective.org/donate

The retreat will include:
- Learning to practice and find ease in various postures as well as moving between them.
- Cultivating gentle, effortless continual awareness.
- Natural entries into non-production and emptiness.
- Simple integration of the transcendent with the mundane.
- Making friends with body, mind and the world.
- Qigong and daoyin
- Restorative forgiveness practices.
- Exploring how to live naturally, regardless of our surroundings.
Jason Bartlett emphasizes a practical approach to Buddha Dharma, drawing practice instructions from a wide variety of traditions. He teaches an understanding of Buddhism which can be applied in the tumult of daily life, with the aspiration to support practitioners at all stages on the path to complete liberation. His specializations include jhana, liberating insight work, nianfo/recollection of the Buddha, prajñāpāramitā, emptiness and non-dual practices.
After the death of his brother in 2019, Jason founded Luminous Dharma with the aspiration to freely offer Buddhist teachings to all beings. Jason continues to learn and practice Dharma from across many Buddhist traditions including: Seon, Chan, Pure Land, Vajrayana and Theravada Buddhism, as well as ongoing training with Santikaro Upasaka, Leigh Brasington, Venerable Wu Kai, and Seon Master Jeon Bong.
