Joy doesn’t arrive fully formed. It’s built, moment by moment, through what we choose to notice, celebrate, and offer. We’ll begin by creating a collective fruit and flower mandala, each person bringing one small piece. This simple act trains the mind in TAR TUK, the practice of rejoicing as a shared, lived experience. Bliss Meditation is a precise method for increasing the state of joy until it’s so present, so natural, that even your old patterns can’t drown it out. You’ll leave with a sense that joy is not only possible, it’s trainable.

Bring a piece of fruit or flower with you.

Love isn't something that comes naturally in most cases, but that's what Tibetan Buddhism is for. It's basically a way to train your mind to love everyone and everything. The key is intelligent pretend. Using contemplation, meditation and the application of a radical perspective on love, you'll learn how to play pretend until it's actually true that you are able to love every single person you meet as though they're your best friend.

Dating is the gross disappointing part of your life that you have to endure until you find "the one" and then just hang out with them until you die. But that doesn't have to be true. Tibetan Buddhism approaches romantic relationships (and everything else for that matter) as an extremely sacred opportunity. And there's a way to train your mind so that dating, even without finding anyone you like at all, can be a profound spiritual practice that opens your heart to love. Join Rachel, a practitioner and meditation teacher, in a discussion on how dating can be a fulfilling spiritual practice, even if you don't find "the one."

*How to view the people you date, from a first date to the last one
*Whether or not they’re “the one”
*When to make a casual relationship a committed one
*How to work with attachment styles (yours and theirs)
*How to make casual encounters spiritual
*How to relate with ghosting and being rejected

No one taught you how to love, and sometimes it seems like we end up in relationships by accident or we realize we've been unhappy or going around in the same cycles month after month, year after year. But Tibetan Buddhism approaches romantic relationships (and everything else for that matter) as extremely sacred. Join Sachi and John-Chris, Buddhist practitioners who have been happily in relationship for 13 years in a teaching on how to apply Buddhist practices that not only cultivate sacredness, connection and joy within partnerships, but also teach us how to address problems and disappointments.

You'll learn:

*How to manage problems & conflicts in a relationship using Buddhist principles
*How to use Buddhist practices to create healthy & fulfilling patterns in relationship
*How to relate with conflict in relationship
*How to know when to break-up
*How to transform a normal relationship into a spiritual practice, even if your partner isn’t spiritual!

*Insert cliché "New Year, New You" phrase here*

Spend your first day of 2025 connecting with the best version of yourself—the "you" that you're ready to become. President of Three Jewels, Hector Marcel, will guide you through meditations designed to help you visualize and tap into your highest self, plus provide advices and insights on establishing a daily practice. Mid-morning, Sachi Pettit will lead a vigorous yoga flow that allows you to feel into your power through core work and movement.

Looking to clean out, but keep the things that spark *joy* the from this past year? Well, lucky for you, the Buddhists have an ancient technique for that. Join Kia as she gracefully instructs you to move both your body and mind to purify the things you'd like to remove as we enter into the new year.

All proceeds from this workshop go towards our End-of-Year Fundraiser!

We are energetic vibratory beings; embodied rivers of sacred sound and music is the purest language to activate the spirit and bring the full power of emotion through our hearts. Join Christina Ionno in a curated yogic dance of pleasure accompanied by Michael Hewett playing original songs on guitar to inspire divine play. 

In this 90-minute asana class the music serve as a conduit to the muse, striking the chords of the subtle body and awakening the senses so that we may fully savor the present moment. 

The power of the muse is dependent on the presence of the listener. We will begin class with a nada yoga meditation to attune our awareness, attention, and prime ourselves for deep inner listening. Proceeds support Three Jewel’s End-of-Year Fundraiser.

Just because everyone is on an individual journey, doesn’t mean you have to walk your path alone. In fact, being in community is one of the most powerful tools for any practice. Frodo had friends on his quest, why shouldn’t you? Come gather in community as Hector Marcel shares how much further we can go when we go alone, together.

This class is part of our Buddhism 101 course.

We’re living in a time where “I’m so busy” has become a badge of honor, and people are socially competing to see who got the least amount of sleep last night. But to paraphrase ancient Buddhist wisdom, it’s not actually cool to be doing the most. Getting enough rest and preventing burnout? Now that is cool. Join meditation expert Hector Marcel as he breaks down how sleep and rest are super-fuel for spiritual practice and a powerful sense of being.

This class is part of our Buddhism 101 course.

Christine and Bobby bring together guided meditation, overtone-rich instruments, and reiki for a deep listening experience to help you settle into stillness and effortlessly develop gentle focus.

This offering is great for anyone who wants to relax, recharge, or experience a deep meditative journey. Proceeds support Three Jewel’s End-of-Year Fundraiser.

Good vs. evil. Life vs. death. Coca-Cola vs. Pepsi—the list goes on. How do we navigate a world caught between two opposing forces? These are chaotic times with a lot of conflict and uncertainty, and if the path forward feels treacherous, you’re not alone. The good news is that we have way more choice than we think. Join Master Educator Hector Marcel as he shares how we can find our way even when life feels like that one scene from Inception where the world keeps turning upside down.

This class is part of our Buddhism 101 course.

Picture this: it's election night and you have no nails left to bite. What if instead of obsessively refreshing the news - you pause, turn your phone off, and examine your perspective? Ancient Buddhist philosophy teaches us how to navigate divisiveness with love instead of hatred, wisdom instead of judgement, and acceptance instead of attachment. Join Master teacher, meditator, and practitioner Hector Marcel for a special download on how to remain unshakeable in a chaotic world.
