“Each region of the world has its own memories—in rocks and in the trees, in sunsets and in the animals, in the wind, in streams. And in the people. When a new religion comes in, it must be nourished by the memory of the region. If a way can be found by which the new religion and the ancient memory of the region can have free, easy access to each other, the genius of the past and the genius of the present can embrace.” —Rev. Howard Thurman
Meditation Retreats and Workshops
Dharma Friends’ mission is to help individuals cultivate insight and compassion, so needed in these times. Focusing on the Buddha’s teachings on nonduality, inclusiveness, seeing beyond us-versus-them, we endeavor to experience our own deepest truths and through this, to be instruments for restorative peace and justice.
Dharma Friends hosts meditation retreats, classes, workshops, and individual mentoring sessions, reaching out especially to veterans and those in prison.
