Change Ahead!

At the end of April, we will be taking a break from our Sunday afternoon meditation class in Abbotsford at Kariton Gallery. As an alternative venue for meditation, we encourage you to consider our Monday evening, 7:00pm-8:15pm, class in Mission at Chartwell Cedarbrook Chateau on 7th Avenue.

We have really loved meeting you and sharing practical and wise Buddhist teachings in our meditation classes–and we will be back at some point, so stay tuned for future classes or events at Kariton Gallery in Abbotsford.
