All are Welcome! Come the First and Third Tuesdays at 6pm. We are focusing on Sri Easwaran's form of passage meditation and his 8-Point Program for daily living, currently meeting at the Spokane Buddhist Temple. This form of meditation fits with any spiritual path. Passage meditation was designed specifically for the Western “monkey mind.” It is a very disciplined approach to slowing down and focusing. It is difficult, but very rewarding! We are currently studying Sri Easwaran’s book "Passage Meditation". Questions, call Lou Ann at (509) 590-3512

"Here Living Again Living Here" is a collection of color-imbued cityscape paintings and drawings inspired by Butte, America. The work leans into the recognizable but is as imperfect as a memory. Like the changing landscape of Butte itself, this selection represents an evolution of paintings spanning the 11 years the artist has lived there. The work is paired with poetry by her husband, Adrian Kien.

The schedule is jamming from 4-6 (door opens at 4 pm), finger food potluck at 6, and concert at 6:30.
It's relatively easy to access it from the Maple Street exit on I-90. It's located at 4340 Whistalks Way, just below Spokane Falls Community College, and just up from Government Way... It has ample parking...
We will offer the same low ticket prices of $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers for the 2025-6 season. (This applies for the jam and/or the concert) Yearly membership is still $25 per family, and children are free... Please note we can not process credit cards--cash or check only.

Please no food or drinks in the seating area. There is an area to sit and eat with a view of the concert between the concert area and jamming room. The bands donate their performances, and we will continue the tip jar to help them defray their expenses...
