Wednesday At 7:30 p.m. Didi Zasep leads Tara practice. Tara is the Buddhist Goddess of Active Compassion and Wisdom.

Sunday 1st Sunday night of every month:

This practice is lengthy prayer offering to all Buddhas, Teachers and Holy Beings. Please bring some light food and drink as offerings – they will all be shared during the ceremony.

On these days, Chod Club will sing and drum and meditate in the tradition of Gaden Chod – a powerful practice of unifying meditations of compassion and wisdom through intense offerings that has a shamanic character.
