Cultivating a Shared Sanctuary

Preserving our Source Material

At the core of the Mindfulness Community is our commitment to maintaining the integrity of original teachings. By preserving source materials, archival recordings, and foundational texts, we ensure that future generations of practitioners can drink from an undiluted well of wisdom.

“Awareness is your refuge: Awareness of the changing nature of feelings, of mind, of societies, of religions, of the world. Awareness is the only refuge that can never be destroyed.”

— Ajahn Sumedho

For twenty-six years, PMC has offered a space for mindful living, cultivating a dedicated community where seekers can gather, practice, and explore the depth of the Dhamma. We rely entirely on the generosity of our members to sustain this sanctuary.

PMC currently offers hybrid Sunday and Wednesday evening sessions, allowing both local and global practitioners to connect in real-time. Your membership contributions directly support our physical space rentals, digital streaming infrastructure, and visiting teacher funds.

With deep appreciation,

The PMC Board of Directors
