About us
We are a community of individuals in the Ottawa/Gatineau area who are focused on cultivating wakefulness and mindfulness through the practices of meditation and dharma study.
Our group offers regular meditation sessions and instruction as well as periodic retreats, gatherings and special events. Our offerings also include programs, courses and workshops in the Buddhist tradition as well as non-secular courses of study. Many of the courses and programs are designed to stabilize and strengthen our meditation, as well as clarify our understanding of a diverse range of rich, profound teachings of various thought/spiritual masters. Course activities include group discussion and contemplative exercises that allow us to connect to the teachings at an experiential level, and find ways to integrate the path of meditation, wisdom and compassion into our daily lives. Members are encouraged to suggest related offerings that may be of interest to group members.
All are welcome to participate, regardless of spiritual tradition, or the lack thereof, and level of experience with meditation and mindfulness practice. Join us in celebrating this journey of discovery!
If you have questions, you can email us through the Contact Us link on Meetup.
