San Francisco’s New Year Reset: Evening Chan Meditation at Dharma Treasury

In San Francisco, the New Year often arrives with long lists of resolutions. We encourage you to add a new one: learning how to settle the mind.

From Sunday, January 4th to Friday, February 6th, 2026, Dharma Treasury Temple offers a special daily evening Chan meditation session as part of our ChanQi meditation retreat. These sessions are designed as an entry point for anyone curious about meditation or seeking a steadier start to the year.

Led by Venerable XianLai, each evening gathering combines silent Chan meditation with a a tea talk. The perfect combination to learn meditation without the pressure of a traditional setting. It’s a simple space—quiet, welcoming, and open to all—where you can:

✨ Release stress and mental tension
✨ Build focus, patience, and emotional balance
✨ Experience stillness within a supportive community

ChanQi is an intensive meditation period devoted to deepening concentration and insight.
