This group is for beginners, people who want a shorter sitting period, those who want to practice earlier in the evening, or anyone else who wants to attend. After ten minutes for visiting, announcements and introductions, we sit in meditation for twenty minutes, then after that discuss our current topic of study, ending at 6:30 p.m. with either a short metta (loving-kindness) meditation or a dedication of the benefits of the evening’s practice to all beings. Meditation instructions for beginners are always available.
This summer (2015) Dharma Zephyr’s Beginners Mind group is going to consider “the hook” – that moment we all experience of grasping, tensing, tightening, and closing down. For more information on this study, please go

We also lead a FAMILY NIGHT once a quarter – check the events page for details.
The co-facilitators, Candice Chartraw, Jeff Froschauer, and Anne Macquarie, offer guided meditation instructions for newcomers. No registration is necessary and there is no charge, though traditionally we offer a small donation to cover costs.
