Tergar will not be meeting on Wednesday December 17 in order to allow time for our group to attend the movie Wisdom of Happiness, which is playing at the Rialto at 7 PM.  

Are you thinking about starting a meditation practice this year? Or learn about the Bozeman Dharma Center? On Tuesday January 6 from 5 – 6 PM we will host our monthly orientation. This is a great way to learn about the Center, get your questions answered, and receive basic meditation instruction. No registration required. Free!

As we approach the still point of the winter solstice, you’re invited to pause and rest in the quiet turning of the season on Friday December 19 from  6-7 PM. Together, we’ll light candles, set gentle intentions, and settle into an immersive 60-minute Frequency Sound Bath—a meditative listening experience designed to nourish both body and mind.

Using an array of harmonic instruments such as crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, gong, bells, and chimes, Jessie creates an atmosphere of spacious awareness. The tones and vibrations naturally invite relaxation, guiding attention inward and allowing the body to soften and the mind to settle.

This practice offers a way to honor the return of the light while resting deeply in the present moment. Whether you come seeking renewal, reflection, or simple stillness, you are welcome to arrive as you are, lie back, and receive.

No registration necessary | Donations welcome; any funds collected will be split equally between the Dharma Center and Facilitator.

Join us on Saturday December 13 from 9 AM to noon for a Mahasangha Half-Day Sit! Leaders and members of all sanghas that meet at the BDC will be gathering to lead a half-day sit that introduces participants to the different Buddhist lineages that practice at the BDC. Group leaders will offer practices such as meditation, chanting, bowing, and readings. Please register online. In person and on Zoom.

On Sunday December 7 at 2 PM at the BDC the Bozeman Recovery Dharma sangha will host a Community Roundtable. Bozeman Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that uses Buddhist practices and principles of meditation, self-inquiry, wisdom, compassion, and community as tools for recovery and healing from addiction and addictive behavior. This sangha is relatively new (and growing!) and the group leaders would like to invite the community to provide input regarding the content and format of the weekly meetings. This meeting is intended to solicit input from everyone in our community who has an interest in finding support for addictive behaviors using Buddhist teachings. Prior attendance at a Recovery Dharma meeting is not required.

Want to start a meditation practice? Or learn about the Bozeman Dharma Center? On Tuesday December 2 from 5 PM to 6 PM we will host our monthly orientation. Join us to learn about the Center, get your questions answered, and receive basic meditation instruction. No registration required. Free!

The Dharma Book Club will meet on Monday December 1 from 1-2  PM. This book club is a monthly Informal discussion, come even if you haven’t finished the book! No registration necessary. In person. The book for December is: “Trusting the Gold,” by Tara Brach.

On Sunday November 30 from 2-4 PM we will take time to recognize the ecological losses our planet has suffered. This year we dedicate our practice on Remembrance Day for Lost Species (also known as Lost Species Day) to Dr. Jane Goodall. Our time together will include silent meditation, Metta practice (guided loving kindness meditation), 108 bell rings, and open sharing. No registration necessary; donations welcome.
