In-Person Only.
Sunday, April 12, 2026
10:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Meditation and Teaching Session
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Community Lunch (optional)
Join us for a small, once-a-month group meditation and teaching, led by Lama Lekshe. This regular event is held at the community space of sangha members Janessa and Wilders, out in beautiful Corbett, Oregon.
Arrive at 10:15 or a little earlier and we'll start at 10:30 AM. We'll sit for half hour or so, have a very short teaching and follow with an open discussion and a lively lunch together. We'll be joined by people living in intentional community on the land, and neighbors nearby. It's casual, friendly and beginner-friendly.
You'll get the address when you register. There are many small zafus, but it's also fine to bring your own bench, lightweight chair or sitting cushion. You might want to bring a shawl or jacket and warm socks for sitting.
Donations for event expenses are helpful. Your $10 helps Dekeling cover gas expenses for the teacher and food for our shared, delicious lunch, but if this is a hardship, please register and come anyway. All are welcome. Sometimes the farm has fresh eggs for sale. $8 a dozen, cash accepted.
For more information, email Janessafortes@gmail.com
Corbett is about 40 minutes up the Columbia River from Portland.
Accessibility note: When you get to the land, you'll park and a walk several feet up a flight of stairs to the sitting space. There is no safe access for those who cannot manage stairs.
Location: Corbett, Oregon
