The Centre for Compassion & Wisdom Oakville/Burlington
On Monday evenings we offer a variety of Buddhist Meditation and Chanting Practices from 7 to 8:30 pm, while Wednesday evenings are devoted to Deepening Your Understanding of Buddhist Philosophy from 7 to 9 pm which will resume in February. Due to a greater interest in meditation practice, we now offer Meditation on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 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, and Transformative Mindfulness, the latter held on the first Tuesday of each month from 8:15 to 9:15 pm. On Friday evenings at 7 pm, there are bi-weekly Movie Nights and other get-togethers. You can join anytime. There are also Saturday retreats and courses regularly.
Check our Calendar and our Home Page for dates and further details. For events that require advanced registration, please call us at 905 296-3728 to leave a voicemail and we will contact you to confirm your registration.
