Charlotte Community of Mindfulness

In the Tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh

Study Schedule 2008

Regular Gatherings:
Sunday: 8:30-9:30 a.m (period one) and 9:45-10:45 (period two)
Thursday: 6:00-7:00 PM

Our first hour on Sunday mornings (8:30-9:30) and our Thursday night meetings are meditation and discussion. During the second hour on Sundays (9:45-10:45), we study and practice the Buddha’s teachings.

The last Sunday of each month and the following Thursday, we enjoy Mindfulness Trainings Recitation ceremonies. Please use the links on the left to read the Trainings and some background.

Beginning in April 2008, we are encouraged to focus on one of the Five Mindfulness Trainings each month, as a community and as individual practitioners. We hope to reflect on and share our experiences during our discussion periods as well as through the yahoogroup. (See our Home page for more information on the yahoogroup.)
