Meet with a Teacher

It helps to get to know a community over time. So we offer many ways to engage, both virtually and in person. Beginner and advanced—all are welcome.  Got questions? Up against a wall in your meditation practice? Or not even sure if meditation is for you? No pressure. No “shoulds.”

A one-on-one meeting can deepen your practice, clarify what practices are best for you, or you can explore what gets in the way of your cultivation of awareness and compassion. There is no charge for a meeting with Lama Lekshe, but one can make an offering to Lekshe or George. Scheduling is flexible for these meetings.

Lama Lekshe

NOTE: Lama Lekshe’s calendar is closed til mid-June so she can prepare for the upcoming retreat. You can see her on Monday nights.
