September 27 - October 25 | 10 – 11:30am
A five-week meditation course
Most of us live like a balloon blown about by the wind — up when things go well, down when they don't. We chase happiness out there, trying to control people, outcomes and circumstances that were never really ours to control. The exhaustion of that effort is anxiety itself.
Meditation offers a different way — not escape, but the building of an inner life so stable that the winds of daily life simply cannot knock us over.
Over five Sunday mornings, we will be guided through practical techniques taken from traditional Kadampa Buddhist sources to help you find lasting peace from within.
What you'll discover:
How to stop fighting what you cannot change and find genuine relief
Practical tools for working with stress, expectations and painful emotions
The profound healing power of meditation and mantra — available to you right now
Taught by meditation teacher, Jennifer DeSantis
September 27: Loosen Anxiety With Every Breath
October 4: The Relief of Letting Go
October 11: Feelings Pass — Let Them - with guest teacher (NKT International Fall Festival)
October 18: Peaceful & Calm, Whatever happens - with guest teacher
October 25: Be Kind to Your Mind
No meditation experience needed – Everyone is invited to drop in to any or all sessions in this series

A 2-Week Meditation Course for Modern Life
Be honest — is your life as happy as you want it to be?
Most of us are working hard at happiness. We optimize our routines, upgrade our environments, chase better relationships, better jobs, better everything. And yet something keeps feeling just slightly out of reach. A quiet sense that however good things get on the outside, the inside hasn't quite caught up.
What if the upgrade you've been looking for isn't out there at all?
This intimate 2-week course draws on the profound wisdom of Kadampa Buddhist meditation to offer something genuinely rare — practical, powerful tools for transforming your experience of life from the inside out. Not by adding more, but by discovering what is already available to you in every single day. Buddhist sources to help you find lasting peace from within.
Taught by meditation teacher, Jen DeSantis

Palm Springs in summer. More noise, more pace, more heat, more everything. And somewhere beneath it all — a you that is exhausted by the effort of keeping up.
What if the peace you are craving isn't somewhere you need to get to — but something already within you, waiting to be uncovered?
This special summer course draws on the profound Mahamudra meditation tradition to guide you into direct contact with the natural clarity and stillness of your own mind. These are not relaxation techniques. They are precise, powerful practices that take you beneath the surface noise of daily life and into something genuinely rare — a peace so deep it feels like coming home.
Over four weeks you will learn to escape the grip of distraction, watch your mind without being pulled in by it, and discover a quality of inner calm that no amount of outer busyness can touch.
August 23: Escape from Distractions with Rosa Linda Cruz
August 30: Watching Without Getting Caught with Rosa Linda Cruz
September 6: Find Your Peace Within with Rosa Linda Cruz
