To train and support people to be of service through skill and spiritual practice
Weekly Meditation Quote:
"When we take the one seat on our meditation cushion
we become our own monastery.
We create the compassionate space that allows
for the arising of all things: sorrow, loneliness,
shame, desire, regret,
frustration, happiness."
-Jack Kornfield
