Centre for Developing Compassion and Wisdom Oakville/Burlington Group

This group, begun in Oakville and led by Dekyi Lee Oldershaw, former nun and founder of Lamp on the Path, has been meeting the third Tuesday of every month for several years. Recently we moved into a new location in Burlington at The Centre for Compassion & Wisdom at 3445 Lakeshore Rd. (formerly the rector’s house next to Holy Cross Lutheran Church, just west of Walker’s Line), and now have a program most days of the week.

On Monday evenings we offer a variety of Buddhist Meditation and Chanting Practices from 7 to 8 pm, while Wednesday evenings are devoted to Deepening Your Understanding of Buddhist Philosophy from 7 to 9 pm. Due to a greater interest in meditation practice, we now offer Meditation on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.

Programs designed to deepen compassion and wisdom for those not interested in traditional Buddhism are also offered at the Centre. These include 5 Tibetan Yogas, Transformative Mindfulness (Tuesdays, 8 to 9 pm), and on Wednesdays from 10 am to 1 pm, a program called Just Being There, a chance to meet informally with facilitators certified in Transformative Mindfulness & 5 Tibetan Yogas. On Friday evenings at 7 pm, there are bi-weekly Movie Nights and other get-togethers. There are also Saturday retreats and courses regularly.
