Virtual Sangha

During this pandemic, we're offering Virtual Sangha via Zoom. We start at our normal time, 6pm, and end usually around 7:30.

Every 3rd Sunday is "Social Sunday", when we used to arrive early with snacks and hang out. So now we're doing "Social (Distanced) Sunday". We'll start the Zoom meeting at 5:30 instead of 6:00 and see who shows up!

Daylong Retreat:
Deepening Daily Life Practice in a Time of Crisis

with Donald Rothberg

Saturday, June 5, 2021, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm

At this time of crisis, there are gifts as well as challenges. One potential gift is the possibility of looking much more deeply into what matters to us, as individuals, and as members of communities and societies, and making significant shifts. As individuals, this may be especially in how we live our daily lives and offer our gifts and services to the world. In this online daylong retreat, we will emphasize the integration of formal meditation practice and daily life, in a number of ways, helping each of us to find what works best for ourselves in deepening daily life practice, and seeing more clearly what the next steps are.

There will be emphases on mindfulness of the body, working with intentions and clarifying priorities, cultivating Wise Speech, becoming more aware of and transforming reactivity, and bringing mindfulness, wisdom, and the open heart more into everyday activities, including work. Each person may especially focus on one or two areas. There will be an optional follow-up group meeting four times, every two weeks, for those attending the daylong, on a dana basis, to support continuing to deepe daily life practice after the daylong.
