Dharma Gates is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to opening pathways into formal meditation training for young adults. We connect young practitioners to a variety of Buddhist teachers and practice centers, working to eliminate the conceptual, logistical, and financial barriers to practice. We foster connections through which practitioners can cultivate compassion, resilience, and clarity to meet the unique challenges of our times. We offer young adults a range of immersive introductory experiences to meditation practiced in a variety of Buddhist traditions. We offer in-person and online events in partnership with a range of facilitators and teachers with an emphasis on accessibility, diverse perspectives, and depth of training. We recognize and work to dismantle the cultural and economic barriers that inhibit engagement with formal meditation practice.
