Dorjechang Centre offers drop-in meditation classes throughout the Fraser Valley and the Okanagan. These classes are suitable for anyone interested in learning how to meditate as well as for more experienced practitioners.
We also offer more in-depth programs; weekend courses, retreats and study programs. The methods and practices taught are suitable for all individuals, whatever your level of interest. Everyone is welcome!
The Next Step – Foundation Program
Have you been attending our drop-in classes and are looking for something more? Our Foundation Program is the perfect step for someone who wants to study Buddhism in greater detail and deepen their meditation practice.
Foundation Program (FP) is structured differently from our General Program (GP) drop-in classes. FP is a registered program that requires a commitment to attend each Sunday. There are two sessions within each class, with a break between sessions for food and conversation. Joining FP does not mean that you can no longer attend the GP classes; in fact, continuing to attend General Program classes when you can is encouraged.
This year, we are delighted to offer two Foundation Programs at Dorjechang Centre: one on Sunday mornings and the other Sunday evenings. If you are interested in the Sunday evening class, please join us on February 5th, from 4:00pm to 8:15pm for the opportunity to observe a class, ask questions, and contemplate whether it would be beneficial to join. If you would prefer the Sunday morning class, please join us February 12 from 8:30am-1:00pm. Everyone is welcome.
Please note that we also offer Foundation Program in the Okanagan. Please click here for information.
