Pre-Retreat Sangha Dinner with Michael Ciborski:

Tuesday, November 3, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

📍 Cafe Lili, 5757 Westheimer Rd #112, Houston, TX 77057

Before our Fall Retreat begins, we warmly invite everyone to join us for an informal Sangha dinner with our Dharma teacher, Michael Ciborski! This will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy good food, fellowship, and connection in a relaxed setting. All are welcome, especially those who may not be attending the retreat but would still like an opportunity to spend time with Michael and our Sangha community.

If you plan to attend, please let Cindy know (email czinner@mac.com or text via WhatsApp) so we can get a headcount—though RSVP is not required.

Next 5th Sunday Sangha Social:

November 29, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

📍 Govinda's Vegetarian Cuisine, 1320 W 34th St, Houston, TX 77018

Every fifth Sunday of the month, in place of our regular meditation and Dharma talk, we come together for an evening of dinner and fellowship—a cherished tradition in our sangha.

This relaxed and informal gathering offers a meaningful opportunity to connect more personally, share a meal, and deepen the sense of community that supports our mindfulness practice. It’s also a warm and welcoming space for newcomers to get to know the group in a casual setting.

Please note: We do not meet in the chapel or on Zoom on fifth Sundays. Our usual Sunday meditation practice is paused for this community gathering.

All are welcome to join us! If you plan to attend, please let Cindy know (email czinner@mac.com or text via WhatsApp) so we can get a headcount—though RSVP is not required.
