Tuesday Evening Meditation Practice Has Resumed In-Person (and continues online)

Starting May 2, Tuesday evening practice will occur in person at BHZC, and also at the usual Zoom link online. These will be separate practices, not hybrid, and attendees may join either one. If you are local to the Seattle area, we encourage you to join in person at BHZC. This is part of our continuing adaptation to balance in person and online practice opportunities.

As always, check our website for the complete list of online, in person, and hybrid practices.
