SUMMARY:Kindhearted Awareness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:BIC Drop-In Meditation\nMeeting Our Lives with Kindhearted Awareness\nTuesdays\n10:30  – 11:30 AM\nLed by Suzanne Colón\n\nvia Zoom\n \nThis program shares the meditation practices that expand our capacity to meet life with an open\, stable heart-mind. Guided meditations will vary week to week\, providing an opportunity to try new practices and ways of working with life’s challenges. The four heart qualities known as the Brahma Viharas (Noble Abodes) will be cultivated with variations on ways to evoke and develop them: Kindness\, Compassion\, Joy and Equanimity. \nProgram Schedule: \n10:25 – Zoom Room Opens\n10:30 – 10:55 – Guided Meditation\nCollective Sharing of Delights or Difficulties\nShort Reading: Guidance in the Buddhist Practices of the Heart\nDiscussion until 11:30 \nFollowing the guided meditation\, we’ll give each other the opportunity to connect\, to be supported in times of difficulty\, and be witnessed in times of joy. The collective “Sharing of Delights or Difficulties” is formal practice of briefly naming a sorrow or difficulty\, a joy or delight\, and having the group witness and resonate with each other’s experience. \nNo prior meditation experience is needed to attend this program. Please make every effort to arrive by 10:30. \nThis program is offered freely\, which means this is a gift to the community\, and you are encouraged to pay the gift forward to help cover costs to the degree that you can. This is a program of the Bozeman Insight Community (BIC)\, offered to the entire Dharma Center community and general public.

SUMMARY:Pali Canon Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Pali Canon Study Group\nTuesdays 1:15-2:15 PM\nIn person and via Zoom\nAlthough Bozeman Dharma Center houses groups from multiple lineages\, one thing we all have in common is a reliance on the teachings of the Buddha. The Pali Canon is recognized as the earliest written record of the Buddha’s teachings\, given before the Buddhist community divided into different schools. This peer-led study group will begin by tackling readings from the Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha. You do not need to own the book to participate and do not need to commit to attending every week. Already having a practice and familiarity with the Dharma will be helpful. \nBasic Schedule\n1:15 Short sit\n1:30 Read portion of Pali Canon with discussion afterward\n2:15 Close

SUMMARY:MindSpace
DESCRIPTION:MindSpace\n A Meditation Group for adults in the Millennial+ generation\nTuesdays 6:30 – 7:45 pm\nIn Person Only\n \n MindSpace is an open community gathering of young adults 18-40 years of age. Through meditation we foster a clear mind\, compassionate heart\, and develop an intimacy with human experiences. We encourage and support each other in daily practice to embody mindfulness in everyday life. We come together with open hearts and curious\, non-judgmental minds to explore meditation practices and share experiences in bringing practice to daily life. Together we create a supportive community\, including everyone– from every background\, race\, gender identity\, orientation and ability. Please email info@bozemandharmacenter.org if childcare would be helpful for you to attend this group. \nMeeting Structure\n6:25: Gather 6:30: 30 minute meditation 7:00: Reading and Discussion 7:45: End We choose books that are easy to pick up at any point. Drop-ins are welcome! You do not need to have own the book to participate. We are currently reading Time to Stand Up: An Engaged Buddhist Manifesto for Our Earth by Thanissara. Examples of other books we’ve read: — No Self\, No Problem by Anam Thubten (Tibetan tradition) — Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach (Insight tradition) — Training in Compassion by Norman Fischer (Zen tradition) — The Myth of Freedom by Trungpa Rinpoche (Tibetan tradition)  \nCurrent Facilitators\n\nAndrew Cassidy’s practice began 15 years ago through a mindfulness-based stress reduction program. A data scientist and lover of the outdoors\, he values mindfulness and meditation as tools for managing stress\, anxiety\, and ADHD. Rooted in a spiritual and dharma-based perspective\, Andrew draws inspiration from the Buddha’s teachings\, emphasizing compassion\, mindfulness\, and wisdom in daily life. \n\n\n\nBrandon Temple is new to meditation and has been exploring mindfulness and self-inquiry over the past several years. His interest in dharma grew from an ongoing curiosity about human consciousness\, and he is interested in cultivating compassion and awareness in daily life as a young adult. \n\n\n\nHayden Pritchard started his practice during graduate school at MSU\, where he attended a mindfulness therapy group\, meditation club and mindfulness-based graduate mentorship program. He joined the Dharma Center in 2025\, and has since explored a variety of teachers and lineages. Hayden hopes to spread compassion and awareness among his peers and community.
