This place is a gem and a great place to learn to mediate and connect with others who are interested in the same. Practices are free and open to the public on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings (donations are always welcome and helpful, but not necessary). You don’t need any previous experience to drop in and there is always an orientation session for first timers. Sunday morning there is a mediation, a dharma talk and then some snacks and a chance to connect with others. Wednesday there is a free vegetarian dinner, then chanting and mediation. I can’t say enough good things about the people who teach here and run the center.

Excellent location for learning the fundamentals of meditation! It's such a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Plus, it's a nonprofit organization, so just reserve your spot and leave a donation when the session is finished if you'd like. It provided the peace and quiet I was looking for. Warm hospitality, delicious food, and truly stunning grounds

This is an amazing place to learn how to practice meditation, but it's also a really welcoming, diverse community, where everyone is committed to making a positive impact on the world. I love the Sunday dharma talks, and who doesn't appreciate free dinner on Wednesday nights?
