Against The Stream Meditation Center yoga studio in Venice
A Buddhist meditation centre on Lincoln Boulevard, founded by Noah Levine and running since 1988 — the Dharma Punx lineage, which is insight practice with the formality stripped out. The anchor is a Monday evening sit and dharma talk, offered in the room and on Zoom, donation-based and open to anyone. Refuge Recovery meetings, retreats and a long back catalogue of recorded talks sit alongside it. A meditation hall, not a yoga studio.
