**Join us on Sunday mornings** for a warm, accessible, and supportive community gathering rooted in mindfulness, compassion, and everyday Buddhist wisdom. These meetings offer a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds—newcomers and long-time practitioners alike—to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Each session includes:

**• Quiet Sitting Meditation**
A simple, relaxed period of mindful breathing and calm awareness to settle body and mind.

**• Voice Meditation**
A gentle, mindful vocal practice that helps open the heart, steady attention, and deepen presence.

**• Dharma Talk and Practical Teaching**
Dharma Teacher **G.R. Lewis**, with over 35 years of meditation experience, offers a short teaching on Buddhist practice, wisdom, and mindful living. Each week explores a new theme—ranging from compassion to resilience to the art of inner freedom—so there is always something fresh to learn and reflect on.

**• Discussion, Q&A, and Shared Reflection**
Participants are invited to ask questions, share insights, and explore how to bring mindfulness and compassion into daily life. This communal reflection helps deepen understanding and connection.

Our gathering is designed to be both **practical** and **universal**—you do not need to identify as Buddhist to participate. Everyone is welcome.

**• Parking**: Free street parking on Washington Terrace but there is also parking on Mt. Vernon Street which is the side street, next to the center.

**• Meeting Rules**: In order to maintain a harmonious and respectful environment, practice kind speech, be courteous, and abstain from talking about current politics or display or wear political or offensive symbols or imagery. Those unable to follow these rules will be asked to promptly leave.
