10:00 - 10:50 am Morning chanting / meditation

11:00 - 11:20 am Meal offering to the monks

12:30 - 01:30 pm Afternoon group meditation

Following the meal offering to the monks, you can join a potluck on the patio or around the kitchen before participating in the afternoon group meditation session.

Visitors may attend any portion of our weekly program that interests them and fits into their schedule. Beginners are warmly welcome. No prior meditation experience is required to join the program.

The small shed has many foam mats for your use when sitting and meditating in the forest. Please refer to the monastery map for the location of the small shed.

News and Upcoming Events

Due to the recent frequent rainfall, the soil at SFM has become saturated, making the grounds prone to flooding even with moderate rain. As a result, visitors may occasionally need to park on wet or softened ground.

If you choose to park along the edges of the gravel driveway or on the sides of Lewis Street, please ensure your vehicle does not block the flow of traffic, as illustrated in the accompanying diagram.
