About us
### Wednesdays | 7:00–8:00 PM (PST)
Online via Zoom · Every Other Wednesday
Pause in the middle of your week and join us for an hour of presence, reflection, and genuine connection.
Offered every other Wednesday via Zoom, this gathering begins with a brief period of meditation to settle the body and mind.
We then read selected articles from publications such as Lion’s Roar and Tricycle Magazine, allowing the teachings to spark thoughtful conversation and shared insight.
Together, we explore how these timeless perspectives meet our everyday lives — with space for quiet reflection, heartfelt discussion, and community connection.
Whether you are new to meditation or have been practicing for years, you are warmly welcome.
Free and open to everyone.

Join us for a midweek moment of stillness, reflection, and community—from the comfort of your home.
Each gathering begins with a brief guided meditation (approximately 10–15 minutes) to help settle the mind and connect with the present moment.
Following meditation, we explore thought-provoking articles from publications such as Lion's Roar and Tricycle: The Buddhist Review. At times, we also view short video teachings from respected teachers including Pema Chödrön, Thich Nhat Hanh, Tara Brach, and others.
Together, we engage in open and meaningful discussion, exploring questions such as:
- How does this teaching relate to our everyday lives?
- What challenges or opportunities does it illuminate?
- How might we put these insights into practice during the coming week?
No prior meditation experience or Buddhist background is required. Whether you are new to contemplative practice or have been practicing for years, you are warmly welcome.
