The Four Opponent Powers offer a compassionate framework for healing old patterns through clarity and care. Rather than self-judgment or perfection, this practice invites honesty, support, repair, and gentle re-orientation — an upward spiral that helps interrupt habitual suffering and restore steadiness over time.

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.

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.
