Important Information

When days of mindfulness are full, we invite you to continue checking back on this Eventbrite page, as when cancellations occur more space will open up for folks to register to attend. We do not keep a waiting list for these events.

If you have registered and need to cancel, if you have an Eventbrite account, you can cancel through your account. If you do not have an Eventbrite account, please let us know about your need to cancel by emailing our registration office.

We ask that all guests please observe our dress code. Out of respect for our monastic brothers and sisters, please wear sleeves that cover the shoulders (short sleeves are acceptable), shirts that cover the midriff, and long pants or long skirts that are loose-fitting and cover the knees at all times. Please do not wear shorts, tank tops, nor tight-fitting clothing. We kindly ask friends to dress modestly for the duration of their time with us and to share this information with anyone attending the event with you.

Donations. For participation in the Day of Mindfulness, a donation is greatly appreciated to keep the monastery open and able to receive guests. You will find donation boxes in the meditation and dining halls or you can donate online.
