More information about the event:  The Sunygata (the void/emptiness) is expressed as no ego/no self in the Great Wisdom Heart Sutra from the Wisdom Sutras. It is the acceptance of things as they are. This is the truest expression of unconditional Love. We will be doing a talk and meditation regularly on the 4th Sunday of the month at 10am. It is an untraditional "Dharma Talk," meaning that teachings will extend not only from Buddhist traditions, but will also include Sufi, Taoist and Hindu Traditions and Western and Yogic Philosophies.

The new moon is a void waiting to be filled.  It is a time for you to set intentions for what you would like to create in the upcoming new month and reflect on what you would like to let go of. Each month will be different. Come experience.
