Upcoming events
Kirtan
All are welcome to join sister Asheya and brother Narayan for Sunday morning Kirtan.
Held every Sunday starting 10:30 am and closing at noon. Join them as they chant the holy names and create some ecstatic vibrations.
Present Moment Circle
Present Moment Circle is a lightly facilitated, emergent practice of exploring the present moment in connection with others. The practice often looks like a mindful conversation that stays primarily about the present moment… what feelings, thoughts, sensations, or energies am I experiencing? How does what other participants say, do, or experience impact my moment?
Present Moment Circle has roots in “Circling” (as emerged in the Bay Area in the mid 90’s) as well as various modalities of mindful communication. This is a confidential space where we take ownership for our experience, and refrain from attempting to fix or change others. Any participation is emergent and voluntary.
Present Moment Circle is an open group with a maximum size of 6 participants in each meeting including Ko. First time is free! $20 after that. Check in with Ko if the contribution is an obstacle to participation.
Arrive anytime after 6pm to be social or get settled in and ready to start at 6:30pm. The container is sealed at 6:35pm.
Contact Ko to RSVP or for more info: 425-471-5479
Here is a one way communication Whatsapp group where it will be posted when a particular session is full and when other days are added.
Facilitator: Ko Darlington carries 33 years of professional experience offering 1:1 therapies including somatic, energetic, dialog, craniosacral, visceral, and movement modalities, as well as facilitation of group practices and workshops. Present Moment Circle began in 2020 as a personal exploration with close community members. Ko currently facilitates 2 groups per week online which are also open to new participants. More info here.

Words from Participants
“Present Moment Circle is amazing- I attended an in person circle with Ko regularly for a year. I had no experience when I came in and I was surprised how nourishing and supportive this weekly experience was for me. It deepened my sense of community, offered opportunity to grow in my relational skills (with clear tools I still use today), and deepened my presence and connection with myself. Most importantly it helped me hear others more deeply and improve connection in my relationships. I am forever grateful for this practice and would highly recommend Ko’s wise yet gentle approach as a facilitator. ”
“Present moment circles facilitated by Ko have been transformational for me. The combination of the commitment to stay in the experience of the personal present moment combined with deep curiosity about another’s experience is vulnerable, enlightening and intimate. I am part of many other ‘modalities’ and I know of no other way of being that brings this gift”
“Present Moment Circling with Ko is a kind of energy medicine in my experience.The practice helps me drop into what is deeply true in my body right now, integrating physical and emotional awareness that might otherwise remain hidden within. Under Ko’s guidance I feel more conscious, alive and aware in a kind of inescapable honest consciousness with my inner being.
I learn many communication tips, tools and techniques for deepening authentic connection with others. Heck, I just used these skills speaking with an insurance company on the phone the other day and received incredible benefit and outcome!”

The Dharma of Radical Community
The Dharma of Radical Community: uncovering our organic connection (even with those that trigger us)
3 Mondays - June 23-July 7, 6:30pm
Suggested donation $15 (will be split with Nature's Church, no one turned away)
Community is what we all long for — to be seen, honored, respected, understood... Even loved.
Community is also one of the most threatening aspects of human life, where misunderstandings, judgements and disappointments can lead to painful experiences.
Often, we ask ourselves, “Should I try to get closer to others, or do I need more distance?”
The Buddhist tradition has a tremendous amount to offer in how to navigate this delicate web of connection and disconnection — including how to see our experiences of community as a path to complete awakening which liberates us from all suffering.
Class 1 (June 23)
The Cosmology of Human Society
Channeled poetry by a modern Tibetan Buddhist master offers us a glimpse into how community is a manifestation of our enlightened human nature…if we can understand the depth of relationship(s) between ourselves and others.
Class 2 (June 30th)
Discovering Our Deep Responsibility for Our Connections With Others
How we can become the joyful masters of our relational lives — instead of its slaves.
Class 3 (July 7)
Working Skillfully (and Kindly) With the Pain of Disconnection
Even the challenges of disconnection and loneliness can allow us to discover deep connection — if we tune into our direct experience.
TEACHER: GREG HEFFRON
Greg began teaching Buddhist classes in 2005 (Sakyong Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism) and has presented these profound teachings across three continents, and in cultures as diverse as Ukraine, Canada, Austria, Chile, United States, Switzerland, Poland and Holland. He is the Executive Director of Green Light Communication, dedicated to a unique mindfulness-based approach to communication which combines ancient tantric Buddhist insights with modern psychology. He is a featured author in "Mindful Communication: Speaking and Listening with Wisdom and Compassion” and coaches those with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) how to profoundly love their lives even when they are experiencing profound discomfort.

Under Ko’s guidance I feel more conscious, alive and aware in a kind of inescapable honest consciousness with my inner being.
I learn many communication tips, tools and techniques for deepening authentic connection with others. Heck, I just used these skills speaking with an insurance company on the phone the other day and received incredible benefit and outcome!”
Present Moment Circle
Present Moment Circle is a lightly facilitated, emergent practice of exploring the present moment in connection with others. The practice often looks like a mindful conversation that stays primarily about the present moment… what feelings, thoughts, sensations, or energies am I experiencing? How does what other participants say, do, or experience impact my moment?
Present Moment Circle has roots in “Circling” (as emerged in the Bay Area in the mid 90’s) as well as various modalities of mindful communication. This is a confidential space where we take ownership for our experience, and refrain from attempting to fix or change others. Any participation is emergent and voluntary.
Present Moment Circle is an open group with a maximum size of 6 participants in each meeting including Ko. First time is free! $20 after that. Check in with Ko if the contribution is an obstacle to participation.
Arrive anytime after 6pm to be social or get settled in and ready to start at 6:30pm. The container is sealed at 6:35pm.
Contact Ko to RSVP or for more info: 425-471-5479
Here is a one way communication Whatsapp group where it will be posted when a particular session is full and when other days are added.
Facilitator: Ko Darlington carries 33 years of professional experience offering 1:1 therapies including somatic, energetic, dialog, craniosacral, visceral, and movement modalities, as well as facilitation of group practices and workshops. Present Moment Circle began in 2020 as a personal exploration with close community members. Ko currently facilitates 2 groups per week online which are also open to new participants. More info here.
Held in the Dining Gazebo
Words from Participants
“Present Moment Circle is amazing- I attended an in person circle with Ko regularly for a year. I had no experience when I came in and I was surprised how nourishing and supportive this weekly experience was for me. It deepened my sense of community, offered opportunity to grow in my relational skills (with clear tools I still use today), and deepened my presence and connection with myself. Most importantly it helped me hear others more deeply and improve connection in my relationships. I am forever grateful for this practice and would highly recommend Ko’s wise yet gentle approach as a facilitator. ”
“Present moment circles facilitated by Ko have been transformational for me. The combination of the commitment to stay in the experience of the personal present moment combined with deep curiosity about another’s experience is vulnerable, enlightening and intimate. I am part of many other ‘modalities’ and I know of no other way of being that brings this gift”
