​ If the Buddha Dated, by Charlotte Kasl, Ph.D. is a book about how to walk through your dating life like it's a spiritual path (it is!).  It inspires many on their dating paths, but the question is - how do we integrate these complex concepts into our daily lives (dating lives in particular)? How do we balance learning, nourishing ourselves, and surrender to the process with tangible support and action steps?

If the Buddha Dated Book Club is an 8 week group focused on mindfulness and dating.  It is a therapeutic book club designed to support you in realizing your dating goals. We will set dating intentions, and create action steps each week related to our intentions.  

Group discussion will be guided by themes and topics brought up by participants in response to the book and their own lives.

Are you tired of the bar scene, online dating, and "connecting" over alcohol? Are you looking to connect with other individuals who share your values? 

Metta-date  is a heart-based meditation class and a place to meet other like-minded singles over tea and conversation. 

Metta Date is for single men and women looking to transform their love lives by engaging in more authentic and intimate connections in a mindful setting. The class is designed to help you cultivate more mindful presence and deeper alignment with your heart, so you can bring these into your relationships.

Class will include mindfulness, group discussion, and partner activities. We will explore themes ranging from trust, attachment, and authenticity to practical topics like “Sending Mixed Signals,” or “Who pays?” 

​Class is followed by optional mingling time involving tea and conversation.
