“Dharma Sunday” Group
Venue: Shoreline Unitarian Universalist Church
Time: Sundays 2:00 pm – 3:30pm
Contact: Jane – jjgateley@gmail.com
After the services are over, the campus of this lovely church nestled in a wooded area of Shoreline is quiet and peaceful. It’s a little confusing coming into the parking lot, as there are two church driveways side by side, and there is not a lot of signage guiding you to the meeting. As you pull in the driveway, look for the second building on the right with the handicapped ramp and enter through the left door.
One of the newer meetings in Seattle, this group has come together to form a close knit and caring community, supporting each other in their recovery and studying Buddhist teachings from traditional as well as Western Dharma teachers and authors. The group is peer led, the facilitator of the day having previously signed up to lead the meeting for that particular day. The format is consistent and flows well, and each peer facilitator brings their own personality with their choice of reading and their own share. The meeting coordinators do a great job of providing materials on upcoming events, interesting articles and sometimes books for the participants. The last meeting of each month is followed by a business meeting which is open to anyone.
