Please join us for an evening of stories, trainings and practices that can serve you in every circumstance. 

Jack Kornfield PhD is one of the foremost teachers of mindfulness in the West. Trained as a Buddhist monk, he is also a psychologist, founder of Spirit Rock Center, and author whose books have sold over a million copies. 

Doors will open at 6:15pm
