Join the Foundation Program this fall (2024) as we begin our next book, The New Eight Steps to Happiness.

You can learn more about this unique study and meditation program at our first three class meetings in September. Classes meet Tuesdays 6:30-8:30pm.

New students are welcome. Enrolling in the Foundation Program means you become a ‘Supporting Member’ of MKBC — all other regular classes and retreats are included with your monthly $75 membership.

To maintain the integrity and quality of the class discussions there is a study and attendance requirement, as well as a commitment to memorization of parts of the text. Anyone who is interested in joining the foundation program is encouraged to attend two consecutive classes before enrolling in the class.

***For students wishing to attend from cities outside of Santa Barbara, and for those whose circumstances prevent in-person attendance due to illness, we offer our FP class via zoom .***

Through systematic study and meditation on this program we can deepen our understanding of Buddha’s teachings, gain confidence in our meditation practice, and transform our lives by transforming our own mind. With a peaceful, controlled mind, we are better able to support to those around us, and to impact their lives in a more positive, meaningful way.

Please contact us if you would like more details about enrollment in this book study program.
