Los Alamos Dharma Friends regularly schedules activities throughout the year to help support practice. Please see the Events section on the left-hand side to see what's currently scheduled. Normally, we will try each month to schedule a potluck, a coffee, and a day-long retreat. Potlucks usually include a short sitting, potluck meal, and a movie or recorded dharma talk. Coffees are similar, but even more relaxed. Day-long retreats are relatively informal as retreats go. They are geared to those of us who want opportunities for more intensive meditation practice, but may not often be able to commit to longer retreats because of circumstances.



Through its members, Los Alamos Dharma Friends is affiliated with several organizations in Northern New Mexico that support routine sitting practice. In Los Alamos, these are Kannon Zendo and the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos. Kannon Zendo offers meditation at 6:45 on Wednesday evenings. There are usually two 30 minute periods of meditation, with walking meditation in between, all followed by tea. There is also a sit at 8 a.m. on Sunday mornings at the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos.

Members often participate in two local sanghas: the Santa Fe Vipassana Sangha, and Upaya Zen Center. Please follow the links here and below for information on these and other nearby sanghas. Some of the events hosted by these centers, which are within easy reach of Los Alamos, are regularly included in the Events posted on this site.
