DESCRIPTION:The KCC Children’s Program is an opportunity to introduce children to Buddhist values within a supportive\, sincere dharma community using simple dharma activities\, storytelling\, open discussion\, songs\, art projects and activities\, including play\, to promote kindness and compassion. Our goal is to provide a fun\, meaningful experience for all. \nSunday Morning Children’s Program \nOn the second and fourth Sundays of each month\, from 9:00 to 11:00 am\, we offer the Sunday Morning Children’s Program. This program normally starts in September and runs through the second Sunday in June. In July and August we meet once a month on the fourth Sunday. We require that at least one parent or guardian be present at KCC when their child attends. \nThe age range we currently serve is 6 to 12; however\, we do allow slightly younger and older children on a case by case basis as appropriate.

Email contact here. \nWhile there is no fee for the program\, dana (offerings) are accepted and go towards helping us continue providing programs such as these. In order to support the program on Sundays we ask that parents agree to be available to assist the teacher if needed – this is a shared role and can be filled by parents or other adults who wish to participate in this way. During the regular school year please note that we request you consider committing to bringing your child both Sundays each month throughout this time frame\, but this is not required. \nAlso please be aware that\, to attend this program\, your child needs to be able to manage their speech and physical activity cooperatively in a small group to help maintain a peaceful children’s sangha. If this is a concern we ask that you attend with your child until they are comfortable with the group. Ultimately we want to be as inclusive as possible\, but must also work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attending.\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/childrens-program-2-3-2/2026-04-12/

SUMMARY:The Essence of Meditation: Letting Go Into Being
DESCRIPTION:In-person and over Zoom \nNever done a meditation retreat before?\nFeel like you need a sanity break?\nNeed some inspiration for your meditation? \nThis weekend retreat—from Friday evening till Monday lunch—can serve any of these purposes and more. So much of our unease\, self-criticism\, despondency\, or stress is caused by thoughts and patterns of thinking that we are often barely aware of. Meditation is about becoming increasingly familiar with the essence of our being—that which lies beneath all fleeting experiences and is a source of inherent well-being. \nJust extracting ourselves from the busyness of our daily lives to spend contemplative time at our spacious\, quiet\, and nurturing retreat land for a weekend does us good. Combine that with gentle and repeated opportunities to become more familiar with the essence of our being through guided meditation and we have something even more meaningful! This retreat is an opportunity to engage more deeply in this process and can equally serve as an introduction to or as an infusion of inspiration for this path of discovery. \nWhat can you expect to gain from this weekend? \n\nAn experiential understanding of the benefits of meditation through guided sessions\, with plenty of stretch breaks\nThe opportunity to experiment with several types of meditation\, some related to developing spacious calm and some focused on opening the heart\nParticipation in question and discussion periods to learn from the teacher and peers\nConfidence in how to bring a regular meditation practice into your life.\n\nSample Schedule \nAM\n6:30-7:30 Meditation\n7:30-9:00 Breakfast Break\n9:00-10:30 Meditation and Teaching\n10:30-11:00 Tea Break\n11:00-12:00 Meditation \nPM\n12:00-2:30 Lunch Break\n2:30-4:00 Meditation and Discussion\n4:00-4:30 Tea Break\n4:30-5:30 Meditation\n5:30-7:00 Dinner Break\n7:00-7:45 Aspiration Prayers and Inspirational Song \nVegetarian meals will be provided. The meal breaks will be spacious. And we will all perform assigned tasks to contribute to the retreat experience. \nLooking forward to being with you there! \nBy signing up you are agreeing to participate in the retreat from beginning to end. This is important to create a cohesive and supportive environment for all. \n  \nREGISTER FOR IN-PERSON \n ZOOM REGISTRATION  \n  \nFinancial Assistance: Financial Assistance (up to 50% of the retreat cost) may be available for individuals with financial constraints. The amount of FA available depends entirely on donations to the Financial Assistance Fund.

SUMMARY:Personal Practice Retreat
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to be able to once again host our annual one-month opportunity for personal retreat at Ser Chö Ösel Ling\, our retreat land in Goldendale\, WA. Some may sign up for the entire month and others will come for stays ranging from a weekend to three weeks. Each week of retreat will begin on a Friday from February 20 until March 20\, 2026. Time periods available are for 1-week\, 2-weeks\, 3-weeks\, 4-weeks and weekends\, all beginning on a Friday. \nDuring the personal retreat time\, all retreatants keep the same schedule and practice on their own in their rooms or in one of the meditation halls. Everyone gathers for meals and in the evening after dinner for a short meditation and the recitation of aspiration prayers or inspirational songs. All of the meals will be provided. \nThe month of personal retreat is an excellent way to deepen one’s practice in the support of other community members. Being able to devote more time to meditation away from our habitually busy environs can be very inspiring and nurturing. Each day will have periods of silence\, and silence will also be observed each week for a number of days. \nBefore engaging in personal retreat\, it is recommended that participants have previous experience that includes at least some facilitated group retreat and perhaps some individual retreat. The most skillful approach to personal retreat is to begin with a weekend and gradually increase the length of one’s stay. Beginning with a retreat that is beyond one’s current capacity can undermine the potential benefit of one’s stay and unnecessarily dampen enthusiasm for future retreat. \nRegardless of experience\, each participant will create an individualized practice plan – either by themselves or in consultation with an advisor. If you are new to personal retreat with KCC\, we request that you speak with an advisor about creating an outline for your retreat in order to facilitate a meaningful experience. To design a retreat plan\, you can reach out to Lama Eric by making an appointment here\, or to Lama Kathleen by email at kdabenz@gmail.com. \nSample Schedule \nAM\n6:00-7:20      Practice Session\n7:30-9:00      Breakfast\n9:00-10:30    Practice Session\n10:30-11:00   Tea Break\n11:00-12:00   Practice Session \nPM\n12:10-2:00     Lunch\n2:00-3:30      Practice Session\n3:30-4:00      Tea Break\n4:00-5:15       Practice Session\n5:30-6:45      Dinner\n6:45-7:30      Group Practice \nArrival Time on Fridays: Between 2 PM and 4 PM\nDeparture Time on Last Day of your Retreat Period: After breakfast and before 10:00 AM \nMeals and Chores\nThree vegetarian meals will be served daily. Retreatants are expected to contribute up to one hour per day toward chores that will be done during the three meal breaks. \nRegistration\nThe number of participants for this retreat will be limited to 16 participants in single occupancy cabins only\, allowing for a spacious environment to support this longer retreat. Registration will be open for retreats of a week or longer until February 15th; registration for weekends will stay open throughout. \nPricing \n1 week: $600\nWeekend: $270 \nIncludes single cabin and 3 meals per day. \n  \nREGISTER FOR 1 WEEKREGISTER FOR A WEEKEND \n  \nNote: To support the staff and the retreat container for all retreatants\, each retreat period begins on a Friday. If there are extenuating circumstances and the only way you could attend would be to come on different dates\, you may contact scol.retreats@kcc.org with details about your circumstances. Requests will be reviewed in consultation with Lama Eric and approved on a case-by-case basis. \nFinancial Assistance: Financial Assistance (up to 50% of the retreat cost) may be available for individuals with financial constraints. The amount of FA available depends entirely on donations to the Financial Assistance Fund. For those who can afford it\, please consider contributing to the Financial Assistance Fund so that others who are less financially fortunate are able to attend KCC retreats. \nTo apply for Financial Assistance\, contact the Financial Assistance Team at KCC-FA@kcc.org with details of your request. After you have received confirmation\, then register for the retreat.

SUMMARY:Children's Program
DESCRIPTION:Please note: The schedule for the Children’s Program has been adjusted through September. Please check the KCC calendar for upcoming dates. \nThe KCC Children’s Program is an opportunity to introduce children to Buddhist values within a supportive\, sincere dharma community using simple dharma activities\, storytelling\, open discussion\, songs\, art projects and activities\, including play\, to promote kindness and compassion. Our goal is to provide a fun\, meaningful experience for all. \nSunday Morning Children’s Program \nOn the second and fourth Sundays of each month\, from 9:00 to 11:00 am\, we offer the Sunday Morning Children’s Program. This program normally starts in September and runs through the second Sunday in June. In July and August we meet once a month on the fourth Sunday. We require that at least one parent or guardian be present at KCC when their child attends. \nThe age range we currently serve is 6 to 12; however\, we do allow slightly younger and older children on a case by case basis as appropriate. Please feel free to discuss this with the program coordinator\, Laurie Simpson\, if needed. Email contact here. \nWhile there is no fee for the program\, dana (offerings) are accepted and go towards helping us continue providing programs such as these. In order to support the program on Sundays we ask that parents agree to be available to assist the teacher if needed – this is a shared role and can be filled by parents or other adults who wish to participate in this way. During the regular school year please note that we request you consider committing to bringing your child both Sundays each month throughout this time frame\, but this is not required. \nAlso please be aware that\, to attend this program\, your child needs to be able to manage their speech and physical activity cooperatively in a small group to help maintain a peaceful children’s sangha. If this is a concern we ask that you attend with your child until they are comfortable with the group. Ultimately we want to be as inclusive as possible\, but must also work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attending.\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/childrens-program-2-3-2-2/2026-01-11/

SUMMARY:Stepping Into Clarity: A New Year's Retreat & Refuge Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Time: 9:00 AM—3:00 PM\nLocation: KCC Urban Center and Zoom\nLeaders: Lama Eric\, Lama Kathleen\, Peter Wood\, Tim Campbell\, Erik Fromme\, Cynthia Irvine\, and David Thornburgh. \nDaily schedule: \nWednesday\, December 31st:\n9-12 Meditation with breaks\n12-1:30 Bring-your-own lunch\n1:30-3:00 Discussion\, meditation\, and aspiration prayers \nThursday\, January 1st:\n9-10:40 Meditation with breaks\n11-12 Refuge ceremony\n12-1:30 Potluck lunch\n1:30-3:00 Discussion\, meditation\, and aspiration prayers \nKCC will continue its long-standing tradition of hosting two days of retreat to purposefully conclude 2025 and intentionally step into 2026. Furthermore\, this marks the beginning of KCC’s 50th anniversary year\, with special events and programs planned to honor our history\, celebrate our community\, and envision together the path ahead. \nFor this retreat\, the current Sunday teachers—Lama Kathleen\, Peter Wood\, Tim Campbell\, Erik Fromme\, Cynthia Irvine and David Thornburgh—will join Lama Eric to lead us in a variety of contemplations\, discussion\, meditations\, and other creative rituals over these two days. We will rejoice in our efforts of the past twelve months\, use the occasion to turn away from unhelpful patterns\, and create meaningful aspirations for the year to come. \nOn the morning of January 1st at 11:00 AM\, there will be a refuge ceremony. You can come to take refuge without joining the two days of retreat; likewise\, you may join the retreat without taking refuge. Formally going for refuge is a declaration of beginning the journey along the Buddhist path. In this brief ceremony\, one goes for refuge in the Buddha\, Dharma\, and Sangha (the teacher\, the teachings\, and the exalted community of followers) as supports for one’s awakening. A token amount of hair is cut and a Buddhist name is given. You can hear more about taking refuge in the video below. If you would like to take refuge\, please contact Lama Eric. \nCome join us for this annual community ritual to move into the new year with dharma friends! \nYou can join this event in person at KCC or via Zoom. For Zoom\, details on how to join will be included in the confirmation email when you register. On the first day\, New Year’s Eve\, we will all be responsible for our own lunch but will share in a vegetarian and vegan potluck on New Year’s Day. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n \n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/stepping-into-clarity-new-years-retreat-refuge-ceremony-2025-26/

SUMMARY:Vipashyana through the Three Turnings of Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:In person at Ser Chö Ösel Ling and via Zoom \nThe Three Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma is a classification of the views and practices expressed by Shakyamuni Buddha in his forty-five years of teaching. \nIn Vajrayana Buddhism as preserved in Tibet\, we embrace each of these systems in our study and practice as complementary rather than contradictory. In this retreat\, we’ll explore the vipashyana\, or insight\, practices and contemplations of each of these turnings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the First Turning—closely related to what is often called Early Buddhism—we will review and contemplate the Four Noble Truths\, practice the Four Applications of Mindfulness\, and reinforce skillful renunciation through the Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to Dharma. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Second Turning teachings are primarily concerned with a deeper insight into wisdom and an embrace of the skillful means of relative bodhicitta. We will reinforce these views by enhancing our understanding and experience of emptiness through various contemplations and recitation of the Heart Sutra. We will also practice the opening of our hearts to others through the practices of the Four Immeasurables and exchanging self and other (tonglen). \nThe Third Turning is primarily concerned with buddha nature—the view that all beings share the same empty\, luminous\, and unimpeded nature that is consummate well being and ease. That is\, awakening is already present in our being\, and the goal of our practice is to recognize and stabilize this insight. Yidam practices\, such as Chenrezi\, and the traditions of Mahamudra and Dzokchen are pathways to this truth\, and we will approach our Buddha nature through guided meditations in these techniques. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis retreat will prove suitable for anyone with even just a few months of practice background. There are no prerequisites to attend other than being present for the entirety of the retreat. In-person registration is closed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER OVER ZOOM \n  \nWe want retreat to be accessible to everyone. Scholarships covering up to 50% of the cost of a double cabin are available through our Financial Assistance Fund. Additional sponsorship may also be available. Please email KCC-FA@kcc.org for more information and to apply. View our Financial Assistance Policy here. Please email Cynthia if you are interested in donating to our Financial Assistance Fund or sponsoring a retreatant. \nBy signing up\, you are agreeing to maintaining the integrity of the mandala by attending the entirety of the retreat\, whether in person or via Zoom. \n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/integrating-the-three-turnings-of-buddhist-practice/

SUMMARY:White Tara Practice Review
DESCRIPTION:***You must have received a White Tara empowerment to attend this teaching. A Green Tara or any other Tara empowerment does not suffice.*** \nEarlier this year\, Khenchen Lodrö Donyö Rinpoche granted the empowerment for White Tara\, one of the most accessible yidam practices of the highest yoga tantra in the Kagyu tradition. This beloved practice is renowned for enhancing one’s merit\, long life\, and wisdom. And though the text is relatively short\, it contains the majority of the common elements of a vajrayana ritual of this class. To engage in this type of practice one needs three things: the empowerment\, the reading transmission\, and the instructions. During this event\, the reading transmission and instructions will be given (not the empowerment). \nLama Eric will review the various aspects of the practice and will lead guided meditations on the sadhana. There will be opportunities to ask questions and get clarification on difficult points. Lama Eric has created a new translation of the text and it is available for purchase. It will be much easier to follow the teachings if you are using this version. Please let us know if you will need a text so we can be sure to have enough. \nThrough yidam practice\, we transform our ordinary experiences of body\, speech\, and mind into the awakened expressions of White Tara’s body\, speech\, and mind. Our form is White Tara; our speech becomes her mantra; and through various samadhis and the dissolution\, we approach awakened mind. Meditation on a yidam can be a powerful and effective complement to our practices of shamatha\, vipashyana\, and compassion. In fact\, all of these essential aspects of the Buddhist path are complete within this practice. \nIn addition to the practice text\, you can choose to purchase a commentary on the practice by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche\, The Wish-Fulfilling Wheel\, or one by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche\, White Tara\, Healing Light of Wisdom. We have limited copies of both in the KCC bookstore. \nThere will be a short lunch break from noon until 1:00pm—please bring your lunch. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \nThis event is offered on a sliding scale to support broad access. We invite you to contribute at a level that reflects your means. If you’re able to give more\, your contribution helps keep these events running and accessible to all. If you need support\, please know you’re welcome and that no one is turned away for lack of funds. \n \n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/white-tara-practice-review/

SUMMARY:KARMAOKE Fall FUNdraising
DESCRIPTION:Karmaoke is back for an encore performance!\nKarmaoke debuted last year and thanks to the warmth and generosity of our sangha\, it was a joyful celebration and true success. This year\, we’re bringing it back with even more gratitude in our hearts\, blending music\, laughter\, and the spirit of giving. \nFollowing our Sunday shamatha meditation from 9:00 – 11:00 AM\, we’ll kick off with a Thanksgiving Potluck at 11:30 to share our favorite vegetarian dishes and our appreciation for one another.

Karmaoke is not just karaoke—it’s dharma-infused FUNdraising. From 1:00 – 3:00 PM\, we’ll sing the songs that move our hearts\, reflect on our struggles and joys\, support our journey\, and echo the timeless spirit of gratitude and compassion. Whether you step up for a solo\, join a duet\, or sing in harmony with the whole community\, your voice will be part of a chorus of generosity\, strengthening our community and supporting KCC. \nWe are aiming to raise $40\,000\, with an anonymous sangha member already generously contributing $10\,000 toward that goal.

SUMMARY:Children's Program
DESCRIPTION:The KCC Children’s Program is an opportunity to introduce children to Buddhist values within a supportive\, sincere dharma community using simple dharma activities\, storytelling\, open discussion\, songs\, art projects and activities\, including play\, to promote kindness and compassion. Our goal is to provide a fun\, meaningful experience for all. \nSunday Morning Children’s Program \nOn the second and fourth Sundays of each month\, from 9:00 to 11:00 am\, we offer the Sunday Morning Children’s Program. This program normally starts in September and runs through the second Sunday in June. In July and August we meet once a month on the fourth Sunday. We require that at least one parent or guardian be present at KCC when their child attends. \nThe age range we currently serve is 5 to 12; however\, we do allow slightly younger and older children on a case by case basis as appropriate. Please feel free to discuss this with the program coordinator if needed. \nWhile there is no fee for the program\, dana (offerings) are accepted and go towards helping us continue providing programs such as these. In order to support the program on Sundays we ask that parents agree to be available to assist the teacher if needed – this is a shared role and can be filled by parents or other adults who wish to participate in this way. During the regular school year please note that we request you consider committing to bringing your child both Sundays each month throughout this time frame\, but this is not required. \nAlso please be aware that\, to attend this program\, your child needs to be able to manage their speech and physical activity cooperatively in a small group to help maintain a peaceful children’s sangha. If this is a concern we ask that you attend with your child until they are comfortable with the group. Ultimately we want to be as inclusive as possible\, but must also work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attending.\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/childrens-program-2-2/

SUMMARY:Stabilizing Recognition of the Nature of Mind
DESCRIPTION:e \n“To begin with\, the nature of\nthe mind needs to be recognized.\nIn the middle\, it needs to become familiar.\nAt the end\, there needs to be oneness.” \n                                                            – Gampopa                         \nWe are pleased to welcome Ringu Tulku Rinpoche back to KCC this autumn. Rinpoche will be teaching from Chapter 9: “Stabilizing Recognition of the Nature of Mind” from his book Confusion Arises as Wisdom: Gampopa’s Heart Advice on the Path of Mahamudra.  \nThis book is a collection of dialogues between Gampopa and his students\, where Gampopa addresses such questions as: “What is the nature of our mind and how do we come to recognize it?” His responses are spoken in plain\, direct language in the form of heart advice for practicing and recognizing the nature of mind. \nGampopa\, a twelfth-century Buddhist monk in Tibet\, was one of the principal disciples of the great yogi Milarepa. He is known for joining the sutra mahamudra teachings of the Kadampa school with the tantra mahamudra teachings of Milarepa’s lineage and sharing these instructions widely. \nRingu Tulku Rinpoche makes Gampopa’s pith instructions wonderfully accessible by combining his extensive scholarship and deep practice with his gentle\, warm\, and often humorous manner of transmitting the Dharma. Practitioners of all levels are sure to benefit from Rinpoche’s practical style of sharing the teachings. Please join us for a weekend of heart advice for turning our own confusion into wisdom. \nProgram Schedule \nFriday\, November 7th\n6:30 – 8:00 PM \nSaturday and Sunday\, November 8th and 9th\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\n3:00 PM – 4:30 PM \nRingu Tulku Rinpoche’s extensive website contains much valuable information about his activities\, including a brief biography. \nIn Person Registration \nZOOM REGISTRATION \n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/ringu-tulku-rinpoche-on-sustaining-recognition-of-the-nature-of-mind/

SUMMARY:The World is Its Own Magic - A Weekend of Plein Air Painting and Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis four-day residential weekend workshop offers techniques in outdoor landscape painting in the high desert forest of the eastern Columbia Gorge. \nThe workshop is designed for artists of varying skill levels who have some experience in drawing and composition; knowledge of color theory is helpful. We will explore color\, composition\, and perspective in new and complex ways allowing artists to unlock fresh avenues of expression and deepen their understanding of visual storytelling. \nSet at a Buddhist rural retreat center near Goldendale\, Washington\, the schedule will include a guided morning meditation led by KCC teacher Kathleen Benz. We will allow ourselves to become still\, reflective and observant\, and from this mindful stillness we will visit our first painting site where Jef will give guidance on viewing the landscape\, seeing space\, and how it might be arranged in a rectangular canvas\, and then how to manage drawing and colors with mind and heart. \nThe tuition includes lodging\, vegetarian meals and guidance in painting and meditation. The SCOL center will provide a cook and facilities staff\, but each student will be asked to complete a daily task of service. \nArtist Jef Gunn\nA Northwest native\, Jef Gunn studied drawing and painting in California through the 1970s and held residencies in Barcelona and Paris in the 1980s. With a balance of humor\, broad knowledge and helpful insight he is able to draw from each student their own natural way to paint\, while bringing to bear practical instruction through contemporary and historical examples. He has been teaching painting\, including landscape outdoors\, for over 20 years. Jef has been a part of the KCC Buddhist community since moving to Portland in 1998. He was part of the team that built the retreat facility at SCOL. \n“Over these years of meditation practice and learning Buddhist views on life\, ethics and kindness\, and care for all beings\, I’ve seen a shift in my work as an artist. Sometimes\, I’ve made this explicit in the forms of the work or in the titles\, with both abstract works and landscapes. \nBringing Buddhist awareness and perhaps a Daoist understanding\, life and living systems open before us. A hill is just a hill\, then it’s a metaphor\, then it’s a hill again. It lifts into sky and drifts into valley. River flows to the sea. Cloud flows. Warm colors and cool colors interact. The blues of the sky change as you look higher. The wind blows through you. You mix colors\, looking at the wide world for clues. You’re interacting with this wild inhabited land\, and you’re responding with irascible paints on a palette. \nJust as with following meditation instructions\, you follow a protocol with the palette\, the mixing knife\, the colors\, the canvas\, the impossible view\, its impossible spaciousness. The mind too is impossibly spacious. You can be present for the whole thing. You might even end up with a painting.”\n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://kcc.org/event/the-world-is-its-own-magic-a-weekend-of-plein-air-painting-and-mindfulness-25/
