1st and 3rd Wednesdays @ 7:00-8:30 pm

A forum for serious seekers to gain valuable insight, make new connections, and find their inner Light.

The sangha meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays to meditate, contemplate on a topic, and have profound discussions over a cup of coffee or tea. Persons from all traditions and stages of evolution are welcome. You may actively participate in discussions or just sit back and listen. We request that you leave behind your preconceived opinions and come with a humble, open mind. We are all here to learn. ❤️

The session is free. We encourage you to purchase a drink and/or food to show appreciation to the establishment for use of their space. ☕

Topics of Discussion:

  • July 16 -- Gurus: Blessing or Curse - Some say that you need a great teacher to lead you to liberation, while others say it is not necessary. Which is true? What are some simple ways to spot a great teacher versus a mediocre or even harmful one? What is shaktipata, and is it real or imagined?

  • August 6 -- Exotericism vs Esotericism -- Whether we look at Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, or any other tradition, there are practices for the masses and those that are reserved for the initiated. What are the differences? Are such practices mutually exclusive?

Past topics: (Reincarnation-- Meaning of Life -- Morality & Liberation -- Prayer -- Is there a God? -- What is Enlightenment? -- What Happens When We Die? -- Gurus -- Esotericism)
