5:15 Dharma Downstairs: before Monday night meditation, at Shove Chapel.

Every Monday evening, in the Sacred Grounds downstairs room from  5:15 to 6:00,  some of us meet for informal Dharma conversation, led by Sarah Bender and sangha members.

 Anyone is welcome to join in on any Monday, and no registration, previous study or experience with our community is required.  Our discussions bring each topic to meet exactly what is going on for us in our lives, in our world.

Place:  Shove Chapel downstairs from the north entrance.
