Spirit of Life offers many ongoing social activities, both for fun and to enhance spiritual interaction among members, Friends and visitors. These include:

Buddhist Discussion Group

Namaste! The Buddhist Discussion Group meets the first Wednesday of each month, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., in the parlor at SLUU. The group welcomes everyone interested in discussing Buddhist philosophy and is free. Love offerings are accepted to defray the cost of snacks and tea.

Groups of four to five families meet at one family's home (on a rotating basis) each month for supper and conversation. Each family contributes a course to the meal. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. You don’t need to be able to cook, or be able to host. Each group works together to create an enjoyable event.
