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!

Keeping Cool When Things Get Hot with Modern Buddhism Teacher Hannah Kim
*Note, this class takes place in Asheville
Even though we have a good heart certain people, (usually people who are close to us), and certain situations, seem to trigger feelings of anger and blame. When anger takes over it's easy to do and say things that are difficult to take back. Using Buddha’s skillful teachings and meditations on recognizing and overcoming anger, however, we can learn to stay cool headed even when things are getting hot. In this way we can replace our anger with peace and eventually even love. Includes guided meditation, talks and time for Q&A. Everyone Welcome.

With Modern Buddhism Teacher Jill Cagney
So many people these days suffer due to worry and anxiety. In the face of so much daily bad news, and all our own personal uncertainties, is it actually possible to let go of these painful emotions and states of mind? According to Buddha, yes it is! In this course, through talks and guided meditations, as well as discussion, we can begin to establish a peaceful place in our mind, a place of inner refuge. Gaining experience of this will enable us not only to let go of these painful emotions, but also to respond confidently and creatively to those situations that normally induce fear in us.
