Spring Park is less than a mile away from Heruka Center, just off College Avenue, roughly mid-way between Prospect & Drake.
From College Avenue turn EAST onto Spring Park Drive at the traffic light. After 2 blocks, Spring Park Drive turns into Matthews Street, and at this junction is the sign and parking lot for Spring Park.
As much as possible our meditation classes will be located very near this parking lot in the shady tree-covered grassy area.

If we have a pet or have great fondness for animals we can easily see there is more to them than meets the eye! From quirky personalities, senses of humor, strong feelings and real warmth and empathy, we can easily recognize that they are very similar to us. In this special class we will develop our love and compassion for animals by exploring Buddha’s teachings on the real identities of animals, as well as their special challenges and sufferings. We will also learn spiritual ways we can help them find lasting happiness and freedom.
Bring your pet for a guided meditation and blessing!
