Sunday Awakening Heart is a spacious, nourishing gathering where we come together to practice mindful living in community. Each Sunday evening offers a gentle rhythm of silence, movement, listening, and shared insight—an invitation to return home to ourselves and to one another.

Schedule
4:50 PM – Arrive and sit quietly on your cushion, allowing the body and breath to settle as the space fills
5:00 PM – Opening bell, Walking Meditation (15 minutes), Sitting Meditation (25 minutes)
6:00 PM – Guest speaker with guided reflection, discussion, or Q&A
6:45 PM – Closing announcements and chant

Inspired by the Plum Village tradition of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, as well as other beloved spiritual teachers, this welcoming meditation community is the heart of our weekly practice at the Dallas Meditation Center. Our time together will include walking and sitting meditation, chanting and music, thoughtful teachings, and mindful sharing—each element supporting the simple joy of being fully present.

Sunday Awakening Heart is open to all levels of meditation experience, from those just beginning to seasoned practitioners. We warmly welcome people of every spiritual background, as well as those who do not identify with any spiritual or faith tradition. Come as you are, and experience the joy of mindful living, together.
