The practice and teachings of this meditation school are inspired by Master Dhiravamsa and his way of transmitting the Noble Eightfold Path of the Buddha, with the intention that its benefits can be integrated into the daily, secular life of any person.

The form is not as important as the content. That is what we are going to discover.

Dhiravamsa emanated the wisdom and love that only one who has attained mastery in refining the essence of being human can manifest and transmit simply through their presence.

In his absence, all those who knew him, and many others who have come to this practice in recent years, continue to practice and gather to walk the same path he showed us, supporting one another with our perseverance and determination to end suffering for all beings.

Dhiravamsa was a master who practiced and taught Vipassana meditation from a place of Metta love, with profound compassion, joy, and equanimity.

This allows meditations and retreats to be conducted with gentleness, without forcing or demanding anything. This doesn't mean it's easier or less profound. Rather, if practiced correctly, it leads to a boundless depth of presence and wisdom.

Metta: universal and unconditional love, encompassing all good intentions. One of the four sublime states of mind and heart.

We follow the Buddha's Dharma teachings as understood and transmitted by Master Dhiravamsa.

We also include psychological and emotional interpretations of these teachings from a Western perspective to make them more relatable.

Samatha means calmness or concentration, and Vipassana means insight, literally "seeing things as they are."

As much as we might try to separate them in our studies, in practice we see that they are inseparable. Like the two arms of the body, you can't focus solely on one or the other.
