Dear Dharma Friends,

You are warmly invited to join us for our Sunday Night Meditation gatherings on July 19 and July 26.

Over these two evenings, Brock Brown will be leading the sitting meditation. These gatherings offer a chance to step away from the pace of everyday life, settle into the present moment, and cultivate mindfulness in the company of a supportive community.

Together, we will share an evening of stillness, reflection, and the simple joy of practicing together.

We hope you can join us for these peaceful summer evenings.
