Tea, Chat & Meditation

Join us for a relaxed Friday gathering with time to connect, reflect, and meditate together. We’ll begin with tea and open conversation, followed by a period of meditation for those who would like to stay.
This is a simple, welcoming space to talk about what is happening in our lives, what troubles us, what delights us, and how practice can support us through it all. No meditation experience is needed, and you’re welcome to participate in whatever way feels comfortable.
6:00 PM: Tea and conversation
7:20 PM: Meditation
Please note: Our Friday gatherings are usually led by monastic Chang Yuan Fashi. This particular Friday will be volunteer-led while Fashi is away. You can check our Luma page for upcoming monk-led Friday programs.
From the Upaddha Sutra:

In that spirit, this gathering offers a space for community, reflection, and mutual support. You’re welcome to arrive as you're and stay as long as you like.
Free and open to all.
