Heart of Wisdom
April 11th, 2026
With Anika Trancik
Join us on Saturday once a month for a topic focused workshop. "Form is empty, emptiness is form. Emptiness is not other than form. Form also is not other than emptiness. Likewise, feeling, discrimination, compositional factors and consciousness are empty…" This is an excerpt of the Heart Sutra, that when meditated on and explored shifts the mind and empowers change. During this workshop you will have an opportunity to understand how this Sutra can help you see your life in a completely different light. It will help you relax and be prepared to accept what life brings your way.

Detox Your Mind: A Buddhist Fasting & Purifying Retreat Nyungnay
April 15, 2026
With Anika Track
This annual fasting and purification retreat performed on or near Buddha's Enlightenment Day is a powerful way to purify negative karma of body, speech, and mind, and to pacify strong delusions such as hatred and attachment. It is also a special method for receiving blessings and improving our experience of love, compassion, and bodhichitta. In this retreat we rely on the Buddha of Compassion and a special chanted prayer practice.
