NYC BCBS Gathering

We warmly invite you to join us for an evening of connection as we celebrate the spirit of the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies and strengthen our NYC-area community.

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • 5:30 – 7:30 PM ET
New York Insight Meditation Center

Our new Executive Director, Melissa Gopnik, together with Board Members Sue McGilvray and Robert Kolodny and Director of Studies William Edelglass, looks forward to meeting you and hearing your hopes for BCBS.

We hope the evening offers a chance to reconnect with friends and enjoy a sense of sangha close to home.

We’ll gather in a welcoming, living-room-style space for conversation, with light vegetarian appetizers and refreshments.

Please RSVP by March 24 to reserve your place. Kindly share any dietary or accessibility needs when you respond so we can ensure you feel fully welcome and comfortable.

We look forward to sharing this meaningful evening with you.
