Meditation In Life

Even though our meditation is personal and silent, the daily expression of our practice faces outward into our community. The Meditation in Life Series offers a group setting where both beginning and experienced meditators can discuss questions and insights about our practice, lives, and relationships.

Garden Work Day

On Saturday December 3rd at 10:30 AM we will work on some garden projects at Kannon Do. Our primary job will be clearing the space in front of the Kannon Do sign near the street so that we can create a simple zen style rock garden in that spot.

Sesshin

Kannon Do will host a one-day meditation retreat, or Sesshin on December 10th. This day of mindfulness offers a rare opportunity to turn our awareness to the simple activities that sustain our lives, and that we normally take for granted: breathing, walking, eating, being attentive to the workings of our mind.
