Join us this Sunday after the morning sit for a presentation on The Second Era of KCC: The 1980's as part of an ongoing series celebrating 50 years of KCC.

On 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.

At the beginning of each session, brief instruction to the practice of Shamatha will be given.  After a 45-minute session, there will be a teaching or question-and-answer period with participants.

The practice of Green Tara belongs to the Vajrayana class of meditations. Tara is considered the embodiment of the activity of all the buddhas.

The practice of Chenrezi — the embodiment of the compassion of all the buddhas — is an excellent introduction to yidam practice of vajrayana Buddhism.

A silent sit is offered on Thursdays, from 11:00 AM to noon, hosted by members of the sangha at KCC. A bell will ring at noon to close the session, and anyone who’d like to stay for a brown‑bag lunch is warmly welcome.

Come enjoy the Columbia Gorge in bloom! SCOL hosts work parties several times a year to serve together on major projects. These are opportunities to meet in a more informal setting, socialize, and complete tasks needed to operate our retreat facility and a property of this size.
