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.

This upcoming May gathering will feature a poetry reading and conversation with Jim Moore and Kate Lucas in celebration of Jim’s new book, Enter. About the book, Rebecca Morgan Frank writes in Literary Hub, “In his signature lucid and wry voice, Moore acknowledges suffering while making room for joy and for moments of peace. These poems offer shelter to readers and, in summoning poets like Rilke and Tsvetaeva, remind us that poetry’s tenderness can be repaid in tenderness.” A reception with coffee, tea and treats will follow. Free and open to all. Click here for more information. Wednesdays Evening Talk Series: April, May & June
Students and instructors will present on a variety of topics on Wednesdays at 7:45pm. Available in-person (either with live speakers, or broadcasted on the classroom projector) and via Zoom. All are welcome to attend and there is no charge. Hope to see you there for this offering!
