Happy spring! These beds are waiting for your TLC! Are you interested in building community through horticulture? Are you interested in Buddhism and how gardening cultivates more than just plants? Come and get involved and help us grow this idea into a food forest!
We are planning to work with the Master Gardener's Plant a Row for Hunger program. Cultivate community with us while enjoying the fresh air and spring sunshine in the beautiful Sierra Foothills.
If you can't make it in person you can donate funds or plant starts in person or by donating via PayPal to Bright Dawn Center (there's a donate button on the website brightdawn.org). We are excited to revive this garden and carry on the work of our beloved teacher, Reverend Koyo, 2 years after his passing. 🙏🌱☸️🌞❤️‍🩹
You can check out his Dharma talks showcasing the beets and potatoes he grew at his YouTube channel:

Still hosting this! What started as a support circle during the uncertain early pandemic days has coalesced into a really sweet practice group that meets three mornings a week.
I realized I hadn't posted about it for some time so I thought I'd let you all know it's still happening, it's still free of charge and open to everyone: all levels, all practice traditions, requires no subscription or commitment to any specific religious ideology.
We just show up as we are, practice together, and go about our days feeling anchored, spirits fortified, energies settled. It's okay if you want to leave your camera off but it's okay if you want to show your meditative face as well. You are warmly welcomed!
You don't need to come all three days, some people come only every Friday or some people can only make it on Thursdays- whatever works we will be glad to see you.
Zoom meeting info can be found on my website, the link should be in my bio. DM if you have questions
🙏
