Meditation as Refuge extends a weekly invitation to everyone who would like to explore meditation as a support for their spiritual development. The intention is to focus on realizing our innate capacity for care, compassion and mutual respect. This event welcomes everyone, beginning meditators and experienced practitioners alike.

Cost: Donation basis, there is no charge to participate. ICD center and teachers are supported by your generosity. Please give from your ability and heart.

To join via Zoom click here.

Please join us as we practice together in community and take a few hours to experience the gift of quiet practice. With our busy lives and the stress of each day, we sometimes let our practice slip away, yet it is so important to maintain, especially right now.

Our morning will be an opportunity to let go and get back to cultivating present-time awareness, and rest in being. There will be sitting and walking meditation, dharma, and conversation. Suitable for everyone.

Reg Fee: $45 covers the cost of the day and support to ICD. Sliding scale–No one is turned away for lack of funds.

On Sunday afternoons Long Beach Meditation offers meditation practice and a Dharma Talk. This class invites participants to find support, guidance, and the energy to do the challenging work of awakening. After a welcoming introduction, the bell is rung to begin our 30-minute meditation. There is a short break to stretch our legs, use the restroom, have a cup of tea, and chat with others. Returning to our seats, the remaining time allows for a Dharma Talk followed by discussion and questions and answers.

We conclude with a Dedication of Merit and Metta Chant for those who wish to join:

We dedicate the merits of our practice to everyone gathered here,
to our families, our community, and to all beings throughout the Dharma worlds.
May the light of wisdom dispel darkness and awaken compassion.
Let all karma be released, and the natural mind bloom in eternal spring.
May we see clearly into the nature of reality and live each moment with awareness.
Let us awaken together and walk the Way with love and humility.

May all beings be happy and safe from harm.
May all beings be healthy in body and in mind.
May all beings be peaceful and free from suffering.

This class is suitable for all levels of experience and is held both in person and online. All are welcome and no one is turned away for lack of funds.
