Each weekend is designed to support those interested in sharing the practice of meditation with others to cultivate the understanding and skills to assist others along their meditation path.

The first weekend was April 13-14, 2024, taught by Gaylon Ferguson and Dale Asrael.

The second weekend is May 4-5. It is taught by Erika Berland. You may get more information and register here.
