FCM Half-Days and Daylong Programs are offered both In-Person (currently for those fully vaccinated for COVID-19) at the Tampa Practice Center and Online. Whether you are a new or experienced meditator, our Half-Day and Daylong programs are an opportunity to support and deepen the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and nourish the seeds of happiness, transformation, and awakening in our lives. Both Half-Days and Daylong Programs programs include guided meditation, sitting and walking meditation, Dharma talks and reflection. Daylongs also include time for lunch and rest, and include guided mindful movement. 

We encourage everyone who is fully vaccinated and in the Tampa Bay vicinity to experience the richness of practicing together, in-person in our Meditation Hall. Please familiarize yourself with our Covid-19 Safety Protocols and plan to arrive by 8:30 am.

If joining us online, the link to Zoom information will be provided once you register. We provide guidance to help you make the experience at home as close as possible to an experience in the Meditation Hall.

When you register indicate your choice of participation In-Person or Online.  While there is no fee for participation, the traditional practice of Dana (generosity) is appreciated. Please register to receive important information about your In-Person or Online Zoom attendance.  

The themes for the Dharma talks for the once-a-month Saturday Half-Days and Daylongs are intended to help us awaken wisdom and compassion in our lives, recognize the goodness that lies within each one of us, and nurture our aspirations to be of benefit to others. The theme for this Half-day will be joy, one of the Seven Factors of Awakening. Please join us.
