Dharma Night

Dharma Night is now exclusively an in-person class (it's no longer on Zoom).

Our weekly, in-person Dharma Night class is a chance to explore Buddhist themes and their relevance to our lives with a community of dedicated practitioners.

Dharma Night is aimed at people who have completed at least one of our introductory courses and have some familiarity with the two main meditation practices we teach as well as basic Buddhist teachings. However, if you don't mind jumping into the deep end a bit we welcome people of all experience levels.
