Join us for meet ups centered on meditation and healing, from various Sufi traditions. Everyone is welcome, and all paths are honored and encouraged to participate. If this sounds new to you, all the more reason to come! A typical evening involves a chanting meditation, about an hour long, followed by an opportunity to reflect and share. As we grow, we may add movies, poetry, book reading, etc. Please drop us a line or come on by! Peace and Blessings to all.

Following the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, join other like minded people who are interested in accessing their inner calm and peace, developing a mindful practice, or supporting the one they already have. Delving into the silence with others I find to be quite a powerful experience. Chanting, dharma sharing,crystal bowl playing might be used at any given evening as well as sitting and walking mindful meditation.
