We meet online and in person and welcome people from all cultures and nationalities. ⃟ We explore the full range of our humanity in order to experience the best life has to offer. We focus on the potential for growth and flourishing across all aspects of our lives involving being mindful of our actions of body, speech and mind in our relationships, employment, community and so on. ⃟ Without excluding Buddhist perspectives, we are open to other understandings and practices which promote the development of health, harmony and happiness among all sentient beings. ⃟ We are a sincere, inspiring, and supportive community, meeting online every week and in person every month. We offer online and in person retreats and occasionally hold community based events.
