Join us for a special Monday Night Meditation & Talk celebrating Sylvia Boorstein’s 90th birthday.

For decades, Sylvia has been a beloved teacher, author, friend, and guiding presence within the Spirit Rock community. On this joyful evening, Sylvia and Jack Kornfield will come together for meditation and a live Dharma conversation reflecting on practice, friendship, compassion, aging, and awakening. The evening will include guided meditation, community gathering, birthday treats during the break, and time for shared reflection and celebration.
