Calendar of practices, classes, retreats and Dharma study
We offer guided meditation for beginners on Wednesday evenings and the first sitting on Saturday mornings. Everyone is warmly welcomed and no previous meditation experience is required. Many Wednesday evening sittings are followed by a Dharma Talk. We offer sitting options that include traditional cushions, as well as chairs, and a few couches. If you arrive and practice has already started, come in quietly and join us.
However, plan to arrive on time or during the scheduled breaks.** If you're late, you will have to wait until the next break because the entrance door will be locked during practice sessions. The parking lot and entrance are behind the church.
**[Scheduled breaks for regular practices on Wednesdays: 7:50 to 8:00; on Saturdays: 9:35 to 9:45, and 10:20 to 10:30.]
Sign up for our weekly email updates about practices, upcoming programs & special events.

Weather events, closings, cancellations
|
If Covenant United Methodist Church closes due to severe weather, any scheduled Dharma Refuge event will be cancelled.
If the weather is a concern, please check to see if we're closed before you head to a scheduled event. Here is how you can check and how we will attempt to notify you. Dharma Refuge will update:
If a regular Saturday or Wednesday practice is cancelled it will not be rescheduled. If a special program, teaching, retreat, etc. is scheduled we will very likely reschedule the event and will announce new dates on our site and via our email newsletter and Facebook once alternative plans can be made and confirmed. |

The moment you begin to question that things may not be as they seem, the structure of delusion begins to fall away. |
