This week’s teaching

Tuesday Meditation and Dharma Teaching (Last week at GreenDoor - moving on 8/18)

Tuesday, August 11, 2026 · 7pm Green Door Vitality, 704 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh Dana is appreciated (suggested $10)

Please note - This is our last week at GreenDoor Vitality - we will be moving to Fayettville Street in the NEST co-work space on 8/18. For details see the newsletter or send an email to info@sitraleigh.com. This week's teaching will be about mindfulness of the world around us. We learn how to pay moment to moment attention during our formal practice, but what about the rest of our lives? So many opportunities to gain wisdom and insight in each moment. We begin with a 25-30 minute meditation and finish with a Dharma talk. All are welcome. Class by Dana (generosity). Parking in the back or on the street.
