Please join ISC Guiding teacher Dawn Neal or guest teachers for a silent meditation followed by a Dharma talk. This offering will take place 15 minutes after ISC’s long-standing volunteer-led sit.

Interested practitioners can attend either, or combine the two sittings to form a short half day retreat.

All are warmly welcome. Please come as you are

To encourage in-person participation, most teacher-led sits will take place in the center only, except for the 4th Sunday Refuges and Precepts, which will remain hybrid.
If there is enough community interest and volunteer support for an online component, ISC will offer an online option for all Sunday Sit and Dharma talks late

Program schedule (please note time change to ISC’s long-standing volunteer-led sit):
9 AM. Volunteer-led Sunday sit with light guidance
9:45 AM. Break
10 AM. Silent sit
10:35 AM. Dharma talk
11:15 AM. Closing and community connection time
