Why Office Hours?
When you’re swept up in the busyness of career, family and daily pressures, Office Hours is an anchor to universal teachings and supportive community.
Coming together in question and reflection is a precious opportunity for deepened compassion and wisdom. You may discover that others share the same question as you, or better yet, learn the answers to questions you even never thought to ask. This ‘triple gem’ of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha is a tangible refuge to strengthen your awakening journey.
Not sure what to expect? You are welcome to attend as an observer and are not required to ask a question. Although participants are encouraged to bring questions, it is not mandatory.
Video recordings are available for those who cannot attend live.
Office Hours is open to all experience levels.
