Prayers for World Peace
October 30th, 2025 | 7PM – 8PM
Cost by Donation
We can all do something to contribute to world peace! In this class, we are creating world peace in two main ways. We are making prayers together for world peace, and we are also creating inner peace. Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. When we create peace within our own mind, it ripples out to create peace in our world.
Coping – Mini Retreat
With Teacher Kitty Connolly
November 1st, 2025 | 10AM – 1PM
We’ve all experienced times when things just didn’t turn out as we hoped. Feelings of disappointment, anger, sadness, and anxiety can arise when we are confronted with the unexpected or feel out of control. Je Tsongkhapa’s brief poem: The Three Principal Aspects of the Path offers us the spiritual tools we need to transform these difficult experiences into the perfect path to freedom. Each session of this half-day retreat will focus on one of these three essential realizations; renunciation, bodhichitta, and the wisdom emptiness; helping us to be free from the stress and disappointment we feel when things don’t go our way.
Session times:
10am-11am
11:15am-12pm
12:15pm-1pm
