Shrine 101: How to set up a meditation space
With Teacher Jason Valcourt
July 19th, 2025 | 10AM – 11:30AM
During this class, we’ll learn about the importance of having a shrine in our home for our daily meditation practice, and how to actually set up our shrine and make offerings.
It is very beneficial to set up a shrine with representations of Buddha’s body, speech and mind. A shrine provides a focus for our faith, serving as a continual reminder of the Buddhas, through whose kindness living beings have the opportunity to attain permanent inner peace and the supreme happiness of enlightenment.
Peace, Prayers, & Pie
With Teacher Tara Kareta
July 25th, 2025 | 7PM – 8:15PM
When we create peace within our own mind, it ripples out to create peace in our world. We will explore how building peace within our mind can better help others during difficult times. After the meditation, we’ll enjoy a slice of homemade pie, offering a warm and inviting space to connect and reflect in a relaxed and comforting atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to deepen your spiritual practice, engage in meaningful conversation, or just enjoy a peaceful moment with others, this class offers a blend of tranquility, community, and sweetness.
Come for the peace, stay for the pie*!
*Plant-based and gluten free options will be available.

A LIFE BEYOND FEAR
A REGIONAL EVENT IN NEW YORK CITY
In times as stressful and uncertain as the ones we seem to be experiencing more and more often, we may ask, is a life beyond fear even possible?
In truth, fear arises from our mind, not from our environment. The fear and the anxiety that so many experience is not inevitable. If we come to recognize their underlying sources, we can learn to change our relationship to them.
Through the practice of meditation, we can learn to work skillfully with our fear. Instead of allowing it to overwhelm us, we learn to redirect it, so that it moves us towards developing those states of mind that naturally give rise to peace, confidence and a strong sense of purpose.
