Community of Practice

Everything becomes a little different
as soon as it is spoken out loud.
~ Herman Hesse

Join us for our weekly drop-in evening as we explore the foundations of Buddhism and meditation by listening and sharing. Through mutual dialogue with others, it’s possible to clarify our own thinking. This can lead to a deeper understanding and relevancy, supporting us to put what we learn into practice.

Anyone is welcome. We enjoy meeting newcomers! The evening starts with a led meditation, followed by a short tea break. The rest of the evening is spent discussing an aspect of the Buddhist teachings, practical applications, and how we can draw inspiration from them in our lives.

Wednesday evenings, 7pm-9pm
Location: Kliworth Chapel at the University of Puget Sound 3410 N 18th St, Tacoma, WA
