What we’re about
Meet like-minded people interested in meditation near you! Learn how to meditate or deepen your current meditation practice. A trademark of the meditations we emphasize is the ease in which they can be used both “on the cushion” and in our daily lives.
Each meeting will include practical meditation, and a talk on how to reduce stress and other problems encountered in daily life and how to increase mental and physical well-being. There will also be plenty of time to discuss the ideas presented. Although the meditations and talks are based on Kadampa Buddhist philosophy, you don't need to be a Buddhist to enjoy this group or benefit from our meditations.
Kadampa Buddhism stresses a spiritual path of individual transformation and to look within ourselves for the inner peace and happiness we seek. Everyone is welcome!

Living in the Moment
with Modern Buddhism Teacher Jill CagneyWhen we live in the moment and tune in to the constant flux of the world around us, we can stop clinging to the past and future and discover an open, spacious mind. This allows us to relax and respond with creativity to life’s challenges.
In this course, we will explore essential meditations to simplify our life, stop overthinking and recognize subtle impermanence. The result: a joyful, present-centered mindset. Includes guided meditation, a talk and time for Q&A. Everybody Welcome.

It's all in how you see things with Modern Buddhism Teacher Jill Cagney
Can we change how we see things? Of course we can, we are changing all the time. Often, however we just do what we have always done, without investigating whether or not our perspective is reliable, or beneficial. In this series we will see how it is possible to experience greater joy and happiness just through making a few adjustments to how we are seeing things. Everybody Welcome.
