Hybrid EventOctober 18, 2026 -Shamatha Meditation – PM
Shamatha Meditation – AM
The foundation of Buddhist meditation is Shamatha, a meditation that develops stable attention which serves as the essential underpinning of all other meditation practices. At the beginning of each session, brief instruction to the practice of Shamatha will be given. After a one-hour session and a 10-minute break, there will be a teaching or question-and-answer period with participants.
Engaged Buddhism Meeting
For this meeting, we’ll take time to check in, reflect together, and discuss the principles and precepts of Engaged Buddhism, considering how they can inform our practice and the way we move through the world.
KCC Board Meeting – CANCELLED
The KCC Board of Directors meets on the third Sunday of every month. Sangha members are welcome to attend.
Community Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative style of yoga that invites stillness and deep release. Rather than flowing quickly from one pose to the next, Yin encourages you to linger—holding postures for three to seven minutes at a time. This gentle yet profound approach allows the stretch to reach beyond the muscles, into the body’s deeper connective tissues such as fascia, joints, and ligaments.
Shamatha Meditation – PM
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.
