Community Meditation Gathering

Wednesdays 7-8 PM

Join me (in person!) on Wednesdays from 7-8 PM for sitting meditation with your Portland community at Atrium Movement & Events. In addition to more detailed instruction, I will also offer a brief talk on a philosophical aspect of the practice, with opportunities for questions, answers and deeper discussion.

In a world that constantly pulls us outward, retreating in silence can reconnect us to what matters most.

Join me and Ethan Nichtern, Maho Kawachi, and Lou Sharmafrom September 29–October 4, 2025, at the Garrison Institute for Becoming Bodhisattvas Confidence and Lineage, a weeklong silent meditation retreat exploring the Bodhisattva path and the inner strength found through ancestral and spiritual lineage. Rooted in teachings from Ethan’s new book Confidence, this retreat offers in-depth meditation practice, reflection on the Four Powers of Confidence, and the opportunity to take (or renew) Refuge and Bodhisattva vows—all in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Whether you’re Buddhist, Buddh-ish, or simply seeking deeper connection, you’re welcome here.
