ABOUT DHARMA FRIENDS
We started DHARMA FRIENDS as a way to re-establish and invigorate NYC’s meditation community.
The pandemic, combined with increasing rents, hit NYC meditation centers hard. In the past few years, iconic institutions and successful start-ups alike have shuttered their doors. Zoom filled the void, but it also created one. We started Dharma Friends to chart a new path forward.
DHARMA FRIENDS weaves together Tibetan Buddhist-Inspired Dharma, art, music, embodiment, and community. We strive to honor tradition while also creating space for the Dharma to evolve and flourish here in the West.
We think that creating community is a radical and meaningful act. We hope you’ll join us to ensure that accessible, donation-based gatherings stick around and thrive.
