Our group is a place to sit quietly in safety, supported by others; to allow understanding and compassion to arise; to encourage loving-kindness and patience. We welcome those with no experience to advanced mediators, teens to seniors. Give it a try. No registration is required. There is no fee. All are welcome.

Enjoy the noise

On Aug. 16, at 7 p.m. come make some noise! Using different types of hand-drums (congas, bongos, African djembes, doumbeks) as well as bells, shakers, gongs, and many other odd instruments, participants will learn rhythm basics by playing musical games and engaging in various sound-making activities. The hands-on activities will be interspersed with show-and-tell sessions demonstrating instruments from around the world.
