[in-person] Meditation - Mississauga
**Details:**
**What we are About:**
*If Sufism is defined as mystical or the way of the mystic, then its message addresses all peoples, not just the followers of one religion.*
If you feel drawn toward deeper connection—within yourself, in your relationships, or along your spiritual path. The ‘School of Sufi Teaching’ extends a warm welcome with humility, and love to all seekers of truth who feel drawn toward inner awakening and the timeless wisdom of the Sufi tradition.
Our introductory gatherings offer an opportunity to experience the gentle blessings of traditional, time‑honored meditation practices passed down through an unbroken lineage.
Some Sufis practice whirling, while others chant loud recitation (Zikr). At Sufi School we follow the classical practice of silent, contemplative meditation. Seated together as a group, we direct our hearts toward the Holy Essence, cultivating an atmosphere of stillness, inward reflection, and subtle spiritual presence.
**Event details** (bi-weekly sessions):
7:00 - 7.15 pm Introduction for beginners
7:15 - 7:45 pm ‘Silent Meditation’ (Muraqabah)
7:45 - 8:10 pm Q&A
**Location:**
Mississauga Valley Community Centre (Frank Bean Lounge).
This group is led by dedicated volunteers, and all sessions are offered at no cost. By choosing to attend, you acknowledge that participation is completely voluntary and at your own risk.
For more details please email us at-
[faraz@sufischool.org](mailto:faraz@sufischool.org)

Origami Seed Pot Workshop
🌱 Origami Seed Pot Workshop
Saturday, April 11
10:00 AM
Many gardeners start seedlings in small plastic containers that eventually get thrown away. In this workshop we’ll learn a simple and practical alternative: folding biodegradable planting pots from ordinary paper grocery bags.
Using a traditional origami-style fold, we’ll turn brown grocery bags into sturdy seed-starting pots that can go directly into the soil when it’s time to transplant. The folded shape holds soil surprisingly well and breaks down naturally in the garden.
This technique is simple, practical, and easy to repeat at home throughout the growing season. If you're curious about the folding method ahead of time, you can watch a short demonstration here:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dlGQP81yfo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dlGQP81yfo)
During the gathering we’ll:
• Learn the folding method step-by-step
• Make several planting pots together
• Talk about seed starting and spring gardening
• Share ideas for reducing waste in the garden
After the workshop, those who’d like can continue the conversation over a casual lunch nearby.
If you have **brown paper grocery bags**, please bring a few if you can. If not, no worries—I’ll have extra bags available for anyone who needs them.
— 🥾 Difficulty —
Very easy. No experience with gardening or origami required.
— 💲 Cost —
Free.
— 📍 Location —
I’d love suggestions from members. If you know an outdoor space with a table that would work well for this workshop, please recommend it.
If no better suggestion emerges, we will default to the **gazebo at Germantown Square Urban Park**, which provides a simple covered outdoor space for the workshop.
— 📝 Registration —
Please RSVP on Meetup so we know how many people to expect.
— 🎒 What to Bring —
• Brown paper grocery bags (if you have extras)
• Scissors
• Garden curiosity

🥘 What’s Your Go-To Dish? | Potluck + Casual Lunch (Ashburn)
⚡ **What’s Your Go-To Dish?**
The one you make when you don’t want to experiment.
The one that always works.
The one you trust.
Bring that.
Join us for a relaxed, small-group potluck lunch held in our "Startup Garage" — a spacious, bright, comfortable living-room style space inside a single-family home. Think couches, real food, and meaningful conversation — not an actual garage 😊
Many of us have a go-to move — in the kitchen and in life. If you’d like, share why it’s yours. Funny, practical, meaningful — your call.
🕐 1:00–4:00 PM (arrive between 1:00–1:30 PM)
**What to Bring**
1. A dish (homemade or store-bought — no pressure)
2. A short explanation behind it (optional)
**Who Typically Attends**
• Professionals in their 30s–40s–50s
• Entrepreneurs and builders
• Divorced or separated individuals navigating what’s next
• People who prefer substance over surface level talk
**What You’ll Experience**
• Smart, grounded adults
• Humor, laughter and perspective
• Conversation that flows naturally
• A relaxed, low-key Sunday atmosphere
No spotlight. No forced sharing. Just solid food and solid company.
This is a free community event designed to strengthen real connection within the Midlife Reinvention community.
Space is intentionally capped to keep it comfortable.
**Full address (Ashburn - 20147) and parking details are emailed 2–3 days before the event.**

Dharma Talk & Meditation
Join us at 11:30 a.m. for a meditation class led by Khenpo Karze, followed by a public talk and Q&A.
The meditation focus varies from class to class. We are currently learning how to meditate on the Four Immeasurables: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.
The class begins with 30 minutes of meditation instruction, followed by 5-10 minutes of meditation practice, and then continues with discussion and Q&A. Each session concludes with a brief Chenrezig practice in which we recite Om Mani Padme Hung (a prayer of compassion), and a dedication prayer that our efforts benefit all beings.
This class offers a strong foundation in meditation, helping cultivate inner peace and compassion amidst busy lives.
All are welcome!
This program is open to anyone with an interest in Buddhism and you can come to all or any part of the program. Families are welcome. There is no fee, but donations are encouraged.
Join us!
Class is offered IN-PERSON in our Prayer Room and ONLINE on [Facebook Live](https://www.facebook.com/KPCBuddhistTemple/) and [YouTube Live](https://www.youtube.com/@KunzangPalyulCholing/streams).

About the teacher:
Khenpo Tenzin Karze graduated from Ngagyur Nyingma Institute’s intensive Buddhist graduate course in 2006, and was awarded the degree of Khenpo, equivalent to a PhD in Buddhist Philosophy, in 2011. He has received teachings and empowerments from many great Nyingma masters, and taught extensively in various Palyul temples in Nepal, India, Europe and Taiwan. This is his first time in the USA. We are delighted that Khenpo is now in residence at KPC and will be providing traditional Dharma instruction to help us deepen our practice of wisdom and compassion.
