Dharma Hub Calgary
Calgary, Alberta
The Dharma Hub is located in central Calgary. We are an urban meditation community dedicated to developing a sincere and grounded mindfulness practice that encompasses all facets of life. We offer a path that is both dynamic and contemplative, drawing from classical buddhadharma, therapeutic tools and body awareness work. You could say we explore an ‘out of the box’ modern approach to liberation that is 75% ‘Buddhism’ and 25% ‘whatever works’.
