SITTING GROUPS

Because Covid conditions keep changing, so do our groups. Please contact each group before attending as they may meet in person, on zoom, or hybrid. Scroll down to see our sitting groups.

Dharma Zephyr will follow all state and local mandates regarding Covid. In addition, for the safety and wellbeing of our community, Dharma Zephyr is requiring full Covid vaccination for participants in our activities and events. Because our practice is based on lovingkindness (caring for ourselves and all beings) and ethical behavior, we are not requiring proof of vaccination but rather relying on practitioners to act in accord with this requirement. We will make every effort to broadcast events online for those who cannot attend in person.

Sitting quietly in meditation is a central part of our practice. Sitting quietly TOGETHER brings the support of our Sangha, or community of practitioners, to our own meditation practice. By studying and talking together after the quiet sitting period, we can deepen our understanding of this 2,500-year-old practice we are undertaking.

Dharma Zephyr has several sitting groups meeting in northern Nevada/Tahoe communities including Reno, Carson City, Minden/Gardnerville, and a special groups for inmates of the Warm Springs Correctional Center and Northern Nevada Correctional Center. We welcome all comers; you don’t have to be Buddhist to attend. Beginners are always welcome at all groups. Each group is organized differently and has its own unique “culture.” There is no cost to attend, though a practice of generosity through donations is welcomed to help defray expenses when we are meeting in person.
