DHARMA FRIENDS offers seasonal Dharma gatherings in-person in NYC and online. Each event features a specific Dharma teaching and special guests. The teachings draw from Tibetan Buddhism and are presented with warmth and compassion. Ages 18 - 35 attend for free /by donation through Dharma Gates.

Our Fall Gathering, How Not to Lose It Over the Holidays, features timely Dharma Teachings + Sketch Comedy on the hilarity of navigating the holidays. PLUS, a holiday shopping market and live music.

Join Dharma teachers Megan Mook, Lopön Karla Jackson-Brewer and Kevin Townley, plus comedians Neil D'Astolfo and Isabel Renner, for down-to-earth Dharma teachings + comedic outtakes on the lunacy of navigating the holiday season!

After the event, connect with friends and get a head start on your holiday shopping with a curated selection of Dharma books and gifts while our resident musician Rob Ward delights us with ambient viola. (Online participants are warmly invited to stay for the music!).
