12 July @ 7:30pm – Sangha Council
We’ve formed council with the intention and hope of building a forum to continue to talk of and discuss with each other – and with the sangha at large – for operations concerns, issues, questions and conflicts which have been challenging – or downright hard to talk about. We’ll use a practice model of working with each other with the most skillful speech we can access. This is a great opportunity also for those who haven’t been around lately to reengage and be a part of the present and future Hartford Street!
You do not need to have an ‘issue’ or overt concern to attend. Council is sangha building and healing. All are welcome!
