Open Door Afternoon
3:00–4:15 Settle quietly to rest in the moment. Chanting, simple sitting, and dharma reflection turn our attention to the heart.
4:15–4:30 Tea break Chai and sweet & savory nibbles are on hand, and we we take a few minutes to stretch and shift to conversation. You’re welcome to bring “finger foods” to share (there’s no kitchen access).
4:30–5:30 Being alive here and now, conversations this spring will relate to Buddhist precepts as defined in Thich Nhat Hahn’s book, For a Future to be Possible. The teachings and commentary mirror the path of loving awareness and service shared by Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Baba. Kindness, honesty, curiosity, and light hearts frame our reflections on how we’re navigating the world in this time.
