Dharma Café is a monthly, open gathering exploring practical tools for wellbeing, emotional balance, and more conscious ways of living. Meeting downtown Port Colborne at Sprout Plant Parlour, each evening weaves together short talks, meditation, and a simple creative practice, offering both reflection and hands-on integration. Welcoming, conversational, and grounded in everyday life.

The Five Precepts are ethical training commitments that support clarity, care, and steadiness of mind. Rooted in Buddhist tradition and shared across many wisdom paths, they invite mindful attention to how we live, speak, and act — not as perfection, but as a practice of returning to what matters.

This practice includes gentle reflection, the taking of the Five Precepts for the coming lunar cycle, meditation, and a simple closing dedication. The precepts are voluntary training commitments that support clarity, care, and steadiness of mind. While rooted in Buddhist practice, the ethical values expressed by the precepts reflect a universal orientation toward non-harming, honesty, care, and responsibility. They may be taken up meaningfully by anyone.
