Dharma Café is a monthly, open gathering exploring practical tools for wellbeing, emotional balance, and more conscious ways of living. Meeting once a month over ten months, we reflect on ten core attitudes that support mental health, ethical clarity, and healthier relationships — with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us.

Each evening weaves together short talks, meditation, and a simple creative practice, offering both reflection and hands-on integration. No prior experience with meditation or Buddhist teachings is required. Dharma Café is welcoming, conversational, and grounded in everyday life.

Together, these gatherings offer a steady, supportive rhythm across the year — combining mindfulness, creativity, and conversation to support wellbeing, insight, and meaningful change.

This month's theme: Truthfulness
Honesty and alignment come into focus. This gathering explores self-awareness, clear communication, and living with integrity in relationship with ourselves, others and our environment.
