Zoom Family Day
Nov 8 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

We will hold this event via zoom, if you would like to join us, please get in touch.

A family day is an opportunity for families with children to come and learn a bit about practice in a kid friendly way. The morning usually starts with a little walking meditation and some guided sitting meditation followed by a story and some activity that will allow us to explore practice in daily life. We end the morning with a snack and closing circle. Parents are encouraged to come and practice with their children.

Zoom Transfer Of Merit Ceremony
Nov 22 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

We will hold this ceremony via zoom, if you would like to join us, please get in touch.

When we exert ourselves to practice the Dharma we create good consequences or merit; the transfer of merit ceremony is a way for us to devote a particular time and effort to offering that merit for the benefit of specific beings and the world and beings around us.
