The Buddha named spiritual friendship, or kalyāṇamitta, as essential to the path. Not a nice extra, but a vital condition for steadiness, discernment, and courage. When we practice together, we remember what matters.
This week will weave silence, meditation, and Dharma with meaningful connection. You can expect daily sitting and walking practice in noble silence, Dharma talks and reflections, skill-building workshops, gentle movement, warm evening social time, and space to offer sessions as service and skill-building.
