19 Dec – Way Seeking with Rev Rin McCarthy @10:15am

20150712_091304As many of you know our own Rin McCarthy ventured earlier this year on a cross country walk to raise awareness of the negative impact to our planet and encourage compassion and attention to the way we interact with our mother with a BIG “M” meaning Mother Earth of which we are all made and will return to. Due to mid journey health concerns she didn’t make it all the way in this first attempt, but did get all the way to Colorado which is no small feat!

She has graciously offered to come and tell us a bit about that journey, her life journey and include the whole of it within the Dharma.

Please join us for this event! Every Saturday we offer early morning zazen (seated meditation), morning service, a brief drop-in meditation instruction at 8:30 am. And again zazen at 9:25 am. We wrap up with a dharma talk at 10:15 am (followed by ceremony if applicable) and then socializing,  tea and cookies.
