4th Sunday Dharma Talk & Meditation (Copy)

  • The Empower House Community Space North 18th Drive Phoenix, AZ, 85027 United States (map)

Come and gather together, open your eyes, your mind and your heart as we explore the void together. 

Event Details:

IMPORTANT NOTE: We recommend arriving at 9:45am as the gates will close at 10am. Please show up ON TIME by 10am so we don’t have interruptions to our connection and our process. 

  • Cost per person FREE; Please register for the event to have a smooth check-in.

  • We believe that everyone should have access to these teachings and will never charge admission for these dharma talks. Exact address will be provided after registration.

  • This is an outdoor space! The ground is uneven and there are wood chips. Wear good shoes.

  • When the weather is hot, we will be offering events in the pool, so bring swimwear, towels and small rafts if you prefer. We do have rafts to use as well! Otherwise, you can sit on the deck and maybe just cool off your feet.

  • We always welcome contributions of plants, soil, containers and other gardening supplies for the community garden and of course monetary donations are extremely appreciated. Just this year, we added a fish pond/waterfall and a yoga deck/dance floor, which happened because people came together to manifest this community vision. A lot of Love, work and good energy has been put here. Will you consider donating? Our next projects will include adding more shade and privacy fencing. The community garden needs a good drip and water catchment system. Many more projects are in our future. All monetary contributions are 100% put toward this community space! Any contributions can be paid through the registration app, in person at the event or through Venmo - @Water-Shepherd

  • Any volunteers to help set up and clean up are appreciated!

More information about the event: The Sunygata (the void/emptiness) is expressed as no ego/no self in the Great Wisdom Heart Sutra from the Wisdom Sutras. It is the acceptance of things as they are. This is the truest expression of unconditional Love. We will be doing a talk and meditation regularly on the 4th Sunday of the month at 10am. It is an untraditional "Dharma Talk," meaning that teachings will extend not only from Buddhist traditions, but will also include Sufi, Taoist and Hindu Traditions and Western and Yogic Philosophies. Each month will be different. Come experience.
