Join us for the first Refuge Circle session of 2026! Beloved Engaged Buddhist teacher Rev. Liên Shutt joins us again to host this sacred practice space, designed to support and inspire people working for change.
We will begin with 30 minutes of guided meditation, and end our session with a call-to-action that you can participate in directly from your meditation practice.
This month, we’ll be calling on our representatives to end the genocide in Palestine and end the ICE occupation in the US.
Offered by donation.
