Open Door Semi-Potluck Gathering
Friends Meeting House
4312 SE Stark,in Room 12
Sunday, Jan. 26 ~ 2:30–5:00 pm
This Gathering will open with 15 minutes to quietly arrive and settle in with soft chanting and a few minutes of simple sitting. But you’re welcome to arrive whenever works for you!
Then we’ll share light food and conversation. No kitchen, but hotplate will keep a rice-and-veg dish warm, and veg/vegan potluck items are welcome (small quantities, please). No kitchen or sink this time.
This year brings an unpredictable challenge to life’s dance — the radical changes unfolding are rapid, multi-faceted, and distressing—disrupting our ways of navigating the world.
We’ll speak thoughtfully about what’s up for us, and listen carefully to each other with generous attention. (It’s not a time to challenge others or push political agendas.) We’ll also hear a bit about what Living Earth’s offerings might be this year and offer input and response.
The Meeting House is warm and fully accessible. The carpeted room we’ll be in has comfortable chairs. As with our Open Door Dharma Circles, these gathering are open to all. Each person’s presence and participation are important contributions. Optional donations are welcome at the door or online but no one is keeping track. Questions? Please contact us.
The spirit of dana—generous reciprocity— keeps the wheel turning. Gifts online or at our events can be designated when you give, to support specific programs or all of our activities: community gatherings, dharma practice, workshops and retreats, grassroots service efforts and global solidarity.
