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.

Join my friends at A Mindful World and I as we launch our very first offering on this new online platform/emergent drama community. A Mindful World is dedicated to bringing the deep psychological and spiritual teachings, as well as practical tools of mindfulness meditation into life as it unfolds in the modern world. In this first (free!) on-demand course, each of us offers a brief reflection on how understanding the Buddhist teachings of the Five Remembrances applies to unlocking the places where we feel stuck, accessing gratitude as a source for joy, as well as helping us remember our (inter)connection with others.

Yearlong Buddhist Studies Course 1:

Entering the Path

Tuesdays, January 27 - March 3, 2026

7 - 9 PM Eastern/4 - 6 PM Pacific

This course focuses on The Buddhist Path, The Four Noble Truths, The Eightfold Path, Buddhist Teachings on the Self, and the Path of Conduct and Ethics.

We begin at the beginning, by doing the thing that is so hard to do—establish a daily mindfulness (Shamatha) meditation practice.

We will look into what motivates us to transform our way of looking at meditation as more than just a stress-reducing practice, and into an entire life path of study, practice and ACTION where we explore our sense of self, our confusion, and begin to transform our entire understanding of reality.
