Practicing With the Heart-Mind
In this retreat we will explore practices that observe how our bodies seem to hold emotions and what happens in the body when emotions arise. Our purpose will be to simply allow experience rather than to change, fix, or explain anything. By becoming aware of what is there, we can befriend it in a non-conceptual way.

Children’s Program
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.
Shamatha Meditation AM – (Short Session)
The foundation of Buddhist meditation is Shamatha, a meditation that develops stable attention which serves as the essential underpinning of all other meditation practices. Please Note: Due to Drupon Khenpo's visit, today's Shamatha Meditation will be from 9:00 - 9:30 AM only.
Karmaoke: The Return!
On November 1st, the veil thins… and the Dharma sings! Join us for a Halloween‑themed fall FUNdraiser full of song, silliness, and Dharma delight. After our usual Sunday Morning Shamatha, we’ll take a short break and then dive straight into community karaoke, followed by a seasonal potluck to keep the party going.
KCC Board Meeting
The KCC Board of Directors will meet out of cycle in October/November. The 3rd Sunday October and November meeting is cancelled. The meeting on 1 November is the rescheduled time. JOIN THE MEETING ON ZOOM If you join early, you’ll be placed in a waiting room until the host arrives. If you experience any issues […]
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.
