Dharma Friends activities are a way to build community within the Sangha. These activities are opportunities to get to know other practitioners in a more informal setting than the sitting groups, classes or retreats. Most of the activities are peer-led or have no formal leadership.
If you are interested in starting a Dharma Friends group, please speak with one of our teachers.
Would you enjoy getting better acquainted with others in the sangha? You are invited to join others for tea or lunch after the Tuesday noon sit. Meet in the foyer of the Center after the sit; we will walk or drive across the street to New Leaf Market.
When: Every Tuesday at the conclusion of the noon sitting
Cost: Buy a drink, lunch, or snack at New Leaf
