We are pleased to invite you to join us for Meditation and Muffins on June 21, 2026 for a gentle morning gathering offered at Gaden Samten Ling. This community event provides an opportunity to come together in shared practice, reflection, and connection.
Meditation and Muffins is a relaxed and welcoming event designed to support both individual practice and community connection. Whether you are new to meditation, feeling curious, or a familiar face within our sangha, all are warmly welcome.
What to Expect:
🙏 Meditation and Prayers
We will begin the morning with a gentle meditation and recitation of prayers, offering space to settle the mind, soften the heart, and reconnect with presence. This practice provides a calm and grounded way to begin the day and nurture mindfulness in daily life.
☕️ Muffins, Coffee and Tea
Following meditation, participants are invited to enjoy muffins along with tea and coffee. This time offers an easy and informal opportunity to connect with one another and appreciate being in community together.
📿 Open Dharma Discussion
Those who wish are welcome to remain for an open and friendly Dharma conversation. This informal discussion space allows for reflection, listening, and shared insight. No prior experience is required, and participants are encouraged to join just as they are.
The intention of this gathering is to cultivate connection, warmth, and accessibility within our sangha, offering a gentle entry point into practice and community connection at Gaden Samten Ling.
