2nd and 4th Sundays
6:30pm – 7:45pm
In-Person
Teaching Team: Melanie Cherng, Alex Baskin
This affinity group provides an opportunity for those ages 18-35 to practice the dharma in a supportive community setting. Every month, one meeting is led by Affinity Group Leaders Alex Baskin or Melanie Cherng and the other meeting is led by a practice leader.
When led by an Affinity Group Leader, these evenings start with a period of guided sitting practice and walking meditation, followed by time for sharing: dyads (partner work) and small or large group discussion.
When led by a practice leader, these evenings will offer silent sitting and walking periods and will not offer meditation instruction—complete beginners should first attend a few sessions that are guided by a sangha leader with instruction on both walking and sitting practice.
