1st, 3rd and 5th Thursdays 5:30 - 7pm

This practice is inspired by the teachings and wisdom of the Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village Tradition of Engaged Buddhism.

We respect and encourage diversity and welcome you with all identities you hold.

We begin with 45 minutes of sitting and walking meditation.  After a short break, we will enjoy a talk, or a reading followed by group sharing (dharma sharing) about our mindfulness and meditation practice and how it influences our daily life and our interactions with the world around us. 

As an important part of our practice, we endeavor to create trust within our circle and hold in confidence what is shared to encourage speaking from our heart and listening to each other. We do not give advice nor engage in a debate. Dharma sharing is a practice in deep listening and loving speech.

Please review the Peace in Our Hearts Sitting Group Sharing Guidelines.

We acknowledge and pay gratitude to the Tilhini -Northern Chumash people on whose ancestral and unceded land we hold our practice.
