Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and  people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible). 

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

Refund and Event Policies

Due to the recent changes with COVID-19 we will be postponing this series. We apologies for the inconvenience and will let you know once it’s rescheduled. 

 

We are deeply grateful to our community members for their understanding, patience, and support through this challenging and life changing chapter of our journey together. We are eager to move into the next phase of our adventure. In keeping with the principals of the dharma that underlies all of our activities, primarily ahimsa  (do no harm), we are requiring that all attendees be fully vaccinated in order to attend any in-person event. If you certify that you meet this requirement please select ‘yes’ on the registration page. This requirement is for the initial stage of reopening and we are looking forward to practicing together once again in-person!

To offer or join a ride share, click Sign-Up to the left. Thank you for supporting fellow practitioners.

The three marks of existence are Buddhism’s basic description of reality – they are impermanence, suffering, and non-self. Insight into these three simple truths, which characterize all things, can create greater liberation and ease. How can an understanding of these truths have practical benefits for our daily lives?  We will explore this question together within this 4-week series.

Each week will include a 30 minute guided mindfulness meditation, a talk on the concept of the three marks of existence, and time for discussion within a supportive community setting.
