Adult group is for those who want to contribute to society by becoming adults of society (or the world). Senior group is for people who wish to live as a senior rather than an old person. Immigrant group is for the immigrants who wish to positively contribute to their new homeland.

More About the Events
Meditation for Enriching Lives
Weekly meditation sessions to grow within, improve wellbeing and enrich lives. Including meditation, Q&A and discussion to learn from our own experiences. Each week we also explore a new topic related to meditation, inner growth or enriching life.
Inner growth is a powerful force that can enrich and advance individual lives and humanity. Without inner growth, outer growth is unsustainable and leads to acting against oneself. Through inner growth, we can live a more fulfilling life and positively contribute to the world. To nurture inner growth, we meditate, learn from our daily experiences including those from meditation, and address inner causes of life hindrances, especially recurring ones. Join us in nurturing inner growth that can benefit both ourselves and society.
Held on Thursday 7 pm weekly (or 8 pm during summer).
Qigong: Moving Meditation
Add healing energy to meditation practice.
Enriching Lives

Meditation Retreat

Although gathering ends before noon, participants are encouraged to continue their practice or maintain noble silence until the end of the day.
