Dharma Field welcomes everyone to the teachings and practice of Zen Buddhism. As Dharma Field founding teacher Steve Hagen reminds us, "Buddhism is about awareness. Not awareness of something in particular, but awareness itself—being awake, alert, in touch with what is actually happening. It's about examining and exploring the most basic questions of life. It's about relying on the immediate experience of this present moment. It's about freedom of mind." Dharma Field offers classes, talks, meditation instruction, and a quiet place to meditate with others.

Mindful Yoga Workshop
sat, Nov 16, 10-11:30am Led by Kate Lucas Yoga is a practice that can help us cultivate mindful awareness in the body. In this workshop, we'll move through a series of poses and dynamic movements that help to link the mind, body, and breath, and also help to increase strength and flexibility. You'll learn shapes that can help to cultivate a home yoga practice, and that can also support meditation practice, fostering strength and flexibility in areas of the body that are hard at work in meditation, including the core, hips, shoulders. Finally, you'll learn about the breath practice of pranayama, which in itself can help to quiet the mind, boost energy, and prepare us for meditation. Bring a yoga mat and, if you have them, a yoga blanket and blocks (or contact us if you need them). Hope to see you there. Register here. Half-Day Meditation, Nov 9
