Group Practicein Marin and Sonoma

April 23, 2017, A two hour silent practice session and a lunch break was followed by Q & A with Venerable Bhante Vimalaramsi.

The monthly Sunday practice sessions are ideal to those with extensive experience in the sublime states of meditation also known as the brahamaviharas. Monthly daylong sessions are oriented for those familiar with the brahamaviharas and enjoy practicing in a casual group setting.

5-Day Accelerated Group Residential Retreat November 7—22, 2015 lead by Bhante Vimalaramsi (bottom center). Top row from left to right; Steve Eckdish, Scott Jordan, Tom Duturme, Steve Paladino, Grant Rudolph, and Laurence.

​Located only a few miles from Sonoma plaza, this picturesque setting is ideal for meditation and discussion. A fully equipped kitchen is available to participants who wish heat up and eat breakfast or lunch. Self-directed practice is conducted in silence with the exception of lunch and dinner where sharing is encouraged.

Here are some photos from past practice sessions and special events with guest speakers.
