A Monthly Gathering for Sharing Wisdom, Practice, Connection – and Lunch!
You Bring the Wisdom – We’ll Bring the Food
Held at a private home and on-land in Fairfax, CA
About Potluck Dharma
The idea for Potluck Dharma sprouted from the meals and wisdom shared around my own table with family and friends. It’s grown into a simple, monthly gathering for community practice where spiritual friends are invited to bring their wisdom, reflections, and experiences to the table, much like the assortment of dishes at a potluck meal.
Our time together is all about sharing – insights, wisdom, and stories – creating a laid-back yet profound forum to explore spiritual truths and life’s deeper questions. After a morning of meditation, dharma discussion, and practice, we’ll share a simple, seasonal, vegetarian meal, that is included with registration, for an equally important way to feed the soul.
Join us to connect, practice, and grow together.
Please note that this event may be recorded and potentially shared. There may be video recording of the teacher(s) during the morning session and discrete photography of the group throughout the event. Your participation in this event implies consent for us to use your image or your voice, so please share accordingly.
