We are a community of experienced and beginning meditation practitioners in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, who find support in sharing our meditation practice.

Our vision is to create a community of inclusivity and belonging in which we learn, practice, and integrate the Theravada Buddhist teachings of wisdom, compassion, and lovingkindness, in our daily lives and in our communities.

We are also committed to ensuring that our teachers are well qualified and grounded in extensive practice. Our Guiding Teacher, Jeanne Corrigal, is a graduate of the 2017-2021 Insight Meditation Society’s Teacher Training Program, with Joseph Goldstein and others, and a Community Dharma Leader through Spirit Rock Meditation Center. She teaches a weekly sitting group, classes, and retreats.

Our core actives are offered in the spirit of generosity, through the dana (generosity) tradition. Each year we offer retreats with visiting teachers who share a wide range of Buddhist practices and viewpoints with our community and the interested public.

In our sangha, we acknowledge that we are all part of Treaty 6, which is the traditional land of the Cree, Nakota, Dakota, and Saulteaux peoples, and the traditional homeland of the Métis Nation. To learn more, please see the page Reconciliation.

We want to join our voices to stand for care, compassion, safety, dignity, and justice for all people in the world, in the face of the racism that is being more widely revealed at this time. Our hearts are with the Indigenous people and People of Colour who have known the reality of this suffering for generations.

This is a wound which affects all our hearts. Many leaders in the anti-racist movement have identified mindfulness as a key part of wise response – a powerful path to heal the trauma of racism for Indigenous people and People of Colour, and to support white people in unwinding racist conditioning internally, and externally. And so we want to offer meditation as best we can, in our ongoing support of Reconciliation amongst all cultures.

We invite you to join us!

Weekly group meditation: All are welcome! Details on our News page.

Our sitting group is led by our Guiding Teacher, Jeanne Corrigal, and occasionally by guest teachers or other experienced practitioners.

For those who cannot join us live, we often record the meditation and talk by Jeanne and share those to our Facebook page and SoundCloud after the session is done.
