Ozarks Dharma Community

Ozarks Dharma Community and NACC will come together for a collaborative and open meditation on Sunday, April 28th from 12 to 12:45 in The Parlor. There will be a short introduction to meditation followed by some time to reflect and meditate.

We now offer Open Sit evening meditations on the first and third Thursday each month in 2019. Please note the schedule below is subject to change. The Open Sit is a silent, group meditation with a simple format: between 7-8pm you can come-and-go any time, just do so mindfully and quietly. A bell is rung every 20 minutes; use it as a cue to change from sitting to walking meditation, or walking to sitting meditation, or just remain in the mode you're in. There is no formal guidance or discussion. This event is free and open to all. General Info Open Sit Evening Meditation Doors open at 7pm, close at 8pm.  Come and go as you please.
