SMCLA on the Westside
SMCLA on the Westside is located in Santa Monica, CA. As an extension of our main center in Eagle Rock, we offer classes and retreats as well as ongoing public offerings.
Ongoing Offerings on the Westside
We sit on Sundays from 4:00-5:30 pm with informal group discussion from 5:30-6:00 pm. The last half hour will be a chance to discuss what comes up in our meditation practice, ask questions of trained Meditation Instructors, and to connect with other members of the Westside Community. Sitting practice includes short periods of walking meditation.
First Sunday of the month: “What is Shambhala?” Free talk with Q & A 5:30 – 6:00 pm
Wednesdays: Kitchen Sink Dharma: Mixing Meditation with Everyday Life happens every Wednesday at 7:30 pm for a $10 suggested donation. Kitchen Sink Dharma is a weekly talk and discussion about the relationship of meditation to everyday life. Includes meditation instruction and refreshments. All are welcome; newcomers as well as seasoned practitioners. Click here for schedule.
Mondays: Sitting In – A Meditation and Discussion Group for the Twenty-Something Sangha, is our new opportunity for those in their late teens to early thirties to get together for meditation and socializing. Meeting every Monday Night at 7:30, the evening will be open and relaxed, and will include a period of meditation (with instruction for those who are new), a contemplation/reading/talk/or discussion, and then time to socialize. This night is always free and open to all, at any level of experience. Click here to learn more.
