A Morning of Practice
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.
