NOTE: Beginning in October 2024, Integrated Dharma sessions will take place from 6-7:30pm at Southern Dharma Oasis, 150 Westwood Place, Asheville NC 28806. Stay tuned to our newsletter for up-to-date announcements regarding this series during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Integrated Dharma offers teaching and tools from a variety of Buddhist traditions, as well as psychological and embodiment practices, to supporta full span freedom– relief from suffering, personal flourishing, and the means to translate that into a heart-centered response to the joys and challenges of our world.
These gatherings will begin with sangha building over tea, continue with a part guided, part silent meditation, and conclude with a talk and discussion on Buddhist practice. Hosted by David McKay, with guest teaching from other local and traveling Southern Dharma teachers.
David McKay entered a Zen Buddhist monastery at the age of twenty-nine and spent the next eighteen years training there in silence. Over time he became a skilled facilitator and counselor, offering retreats and workshops at the monastery and across the country. David left the monastery in the fall of 2014 to further explore life and practice back in the world. He has since found his home in the Appalachian mountains, where he supports awareness practice in the form of meditation groups, workshops, classes, retreats, and one-on-one spiritual counseling.
