Join us for a relaxed Friday gathering with time to connect, reflect, and meditate together. We’ll begin with tea and open conversation, followed by a period of meditation for those who would like to stay. This is a simple, welcoming space to talk about what is happening in our lives, what troubles us, what delights us, and how practice can support us through it all. No meditation experience is needed, and you’re welcome to participate in whatever way feels comfortable. 6:00 PM: Tea and conversa
