Events
Weekly Meetings
Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays, about 300 people get together at The College, for coffee, tea, dining, and meetings of profound inner realization. Meetings vary each week, with new insights in dialogue and silence.
Meetings are a unique opportunity for awakening and growth, to see new depths in you and witness other people learning, opening, and healing. These meetings can be the encounter of a lifetime — and they take place every week.
Quarterly Seminars
John’s seminars include multiple meetings over several days with time also spent in The Cafe. Over this extended time, themes develop as questioners draw from previous talks. Like the threads of discussion, the energy grows as well. The result is a culminating occurrence of profound meaning.
The Jewel Cafe
The Jewel Cafe is a vibrant social space which supports the developments in meetings. High quality food, drink, and conversation are highlights in this beautiful setting.
Special Events
The New Year’s Eve party, Western Style BBQ, Cinema Nights, and other festivities are an excellent complement to the meetings and seminars.
