Meditation Class Every Tuesday (in-person and online)
Forest of Wisdom is a center of learning based in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition (AKA Nalanda Tradition) of contemplative practices. We are located in eastern Connecticut, near the metropolitan areas of Boston, Providence, and New York City.
We are building the foundations for a community of dedicated monastics, scholars, and meditators to live and thrive. Now we offer classes for the local community, giving people of all backgrounds the fundamental tools that we need as humans to have a joyful and peaceful life in a complex and busy world.
