Greeting the New Year—-This Week with SMS


Listening, hearing—and ready to respond

      Dear Springs Mountain Sangha, 

This week we’ll gather to walk across the threshold into a new year, in several ways:

At our Monday evening meditation tomorrow, we’ll hear a Wayfaring Mind Talk from one of our members, Kelly McFarland.  The Wayfaring Mind talk is about whatever the speaker wants to offer, coming from the heart of his or her practice at this particular moment.

On Wednesday morning, January 1, 2020, we WILL be holding meditation in Shove Chapel from 6:30 to 7:30 AM.  Some of us just couldn’t give it up, so we’ll be there and you can, too.  As the conclusion of our meditation we’ll ring 108 bells to greet the new year.

And next Saturday, January 4, our winter sutra study series with Sarah Bender, Roshi
will begin:

10 AM to Noon
Creek Bend Zendo: 7528Jenkin Place

No previous experience needed.
Suggested donation is $10 per meeting

You don’t have to be able to attend all six sessions, but your doing so if you can grows the power of our shared inquiry.

Readings will be sent out in advance to those who are on the email list for the series.  To be on the list, write to Sarah Bender at sembender@gmail.com .

More information on this series will be coming within the next couple of days.
