Group Information
We have a 35-40 minute meditation - guided or silent depending on the pulse of the group each week. We then have a Dhamma talk or reading and discussion. There is also time to share/discuss practice stuff or other desired topics.
Hey sweet sangha, thank you for the lovely conversation last week. This week we'll continue our discussion of metta and the other Brahmaviharas. We will talk about cultivating a boundless mind and the capacity for metta. I look forward to our conversation and seeing those of you who can make it tomorrow, I will try to open the room a little bit early so we can check in.

I created a form that people can use any time to offer feedback for the group, and propose topics if you don't feel like doing so during the group. That form is here. I will just leave it open for the foreseeable future.
