Join us in The Halyard at Sound View, Greenport for a guided meditation and Dharma talk led by Carl Timpone and Megan Frey
We all have habits that seem hard to break. Unfortunately, many of these habits convince us we can’t change, make us unhappy or even harm our health. Through understanding Buddha’s teachings, we can then replace even our most stubborn habits with profoundly beneficial ways of thinking that lead to peace and happiness.
Negative states of mind are just bad mental habits, and like all habits they can be broken.
Join us for a guided meditation and Dharma talk where we will cultivate tools that assist in creating a more peaceful and harmonious world for ourselves and others.
No special clothing is required. Cushions and chairs are provided. All are welcome! Teachings based on the works of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
Carl discovered meditation over a decade ago, and since then, he has immersed himself in the Buddhist community, attending classes, retreats, and dharma talks. Throughout his journey, he has had the privilege of learning from some of the most respected and well-studied practitioners in the world. For the past five years, Carl has shared these teachings with a diverse range of individuals—from those incarcerated, to beginners seeking to establish a routine meditation practice, to those who wish to explore the depths of Buddhist philosophy.
These transformative teachings have deeply impacted Carl’s life, shaping his understanding of how a peaceful mind and virtuous intention are key to both personal transformation and collective healing. His goal is to continue spreading the invaluable wisdom passed down through generations of realized teachers, offering these teachings to both Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
Megan discovered Buddhist meditation at twelve, sparking a lifelong exploration of the intersection between inner and outer worlds. This curiosity led her to study various philosophical traditions while earning a B.S. in Mathematics from LIU and a certification in Data Science and Machine Learning from MIT.
Shaped by her scientific training, this unique background offers an analytical but pragmatic investigation to meditation and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy for the purpose of knowing one’s own mind.
Megan teaches a wide range of students, from beginners seeking an introduction to meditation to incarcerated individuals exploring these practices as a path to transformation. After years of studying, attending classes, and participating in retreats, she now shares the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, helping others discover its relevance and value in their own lives.
