Watch Party: Talk and Q&A with Dharma Teacher DaRa Williams

Once per month, we do a talk and Q&A with a meditation teacher or other special guest.

The talk is on Zoom, but we also gather in person in BK for a watch party!

Come hang out, eat popcorn, watch the talk on the big screen, and ask the guest your questions!

This month's guest is DaRa Williams.

This program is free and donation-based.

• Please arrive between 7 and 7:30 PM (during the meditation portion).
• We'll make popcorn and have tea available. There's also a taco truck outside :)
• The event location will be in the confirmation email once you sign up.
