Pueblo Sky, by John Harder

Fall begins – Sarah returns!  Precepts continues and our koan study begins.  
And, it’s not too early to make financial and circumstantial plans for the fall retreat in October.

 

Ongoing

5:15 Dharma study and discussion before Monday night meditation.
These discussions, facilitated by Sarah Bender and sangha members,  focus on supporting an ongoing practice in all of its aspects. Anyone is welcome to join in. This Summer, we are exploring elements of our liturgy and of our Bodhisattva Vows and precepts.
You are welcome to join in on any Monday.
Place:  Shove Chapel downstairs from the north entrance.
