September 13 &amp; 20 | 10 – 11:30am A 2-Week Meditation Course for Modern Life
Be honest — is your life as happy as you want it to be?
Most of us are working hard at happiness. We optimize our routines, upgrade our environments, chase better relationships, better jobs, better everything. And yet something keeps feeling just slightly out of reach. A quiet sense that however good things get on the outside, the inside hasn't quite caught up.
What if the upgrade you've been looking for isn't out there at all?
This intimate 2-week course draws on the profound wisdom of Kadampa Buddhist meditation to offer something genuinely rare — practical, powerful tools for transforming your experience of life from the inside out. Not by adding more, but by discovering what is already available to you in every single day. Buddhist sources to help you find lasting peace from within.
Taught by meditation teacher, Jen DeSantis

September 27 - October 25 | 10 – 11:30am A five-week meditation courseMost of us live like a balloon blown about by the wind — up when things go well, down when they don't. We chase happiness out there, trying to control people, outcomes and circumstances that were never really ours to control. The exhaustion of that effort is anxiety itself.

Meditation offers a different way — not escape, but the building of an inner life so stable that the winds of daily life simply cannot knock us over.
Over five Sunday mornings, we will be guided through practical techniques taken from traditional Kadampa Buddhist sources to help you find lasting peace from within.
What you'll discover: * How to stop fighting what you cannot change and find genuine relief * Practical tools for working with stress, expectations and painful emotions * The profound healing power of meditation and mantra — available to you right now
Taught by meditation teacher, Jennifer DeSantis

BACK BY ROARING DEMAND! The 7:00 PM show sold out — don't wait for the next ice age: The Late Show's seats will go fast. 
Cloned from 100% authentic drag DNA, JURASSIC DRAG stomps back into the desert to celebrate PALM SPRINGS PRIDE 2026 — starring the prehistoric dino-divas COCO PERU, JACKIE BEAT, SHERRY VINE, and VARLA JEAN MERMAN, and hosted by stand-up comedian ROZ HERNANDEZ! 
One-part musical spectacular, one-part old-fashioned variety show — our Jurassic specimens will impress with stunning feats of song, dance, and um… comedy. "Dinosaurs DO still roam the earth," gasped one bewildered RuPaul's Drag Race fan — and honey, these dinosaurs still devour the stage.
Our divas have survived a hostile world and trekked the earth for a combined 170 years — which, in drag time, is exactly 65 million. So we've gathered them under one roof while we still can. Because let's face it, folks: the meteor could hit any minute.
See them before they're extinct.&nbsp;
