Light Breaks Out: Retreat Ends 2011

Our retreat vessel opened into the wide world last Sunday afternoon (11 Dec.), letting out the light we’d been gathering the previous four days. It was a wonderful time of quiet togetherness for all, including the one with four legs and a (short) tail. Our deep thanks to all participants and supporters, whether near or far. Please join us again as soon as you can.

 

ALERT! Revised Retreat Schedule…

Ok, sorry, but… the Practice Leader is kind of a doofus, and posted last year’s schedule by mistake. However, all has been made right, and now this link will take you to the corrected schedule for the current retreat. Y’all come! (Except for meals… heh…)

Dec 3rd 2011: Trimming the Tree

We would like to invite everyone to come by and help create ornaments and trim the HSZC winter holiday tree!

The ornament creation is folding origami ornaments painting, adding glitter, hooks and flair to small Buddhas, and other ornament crafts followed by trimming the tree and dedicating the winter holiday (including Buddha’s enlightenment) decor in the spirit of friends and family (chosen and biological) with intent and actions of compassion, love, charity, good will and spreading love to your fellow man or womyn this holiday season!

Where: 57 Hartford Street
When: 6 PM
What do I Bring? Elbow grease, an ornament if you want to loan it for the month, treats if you wish to offload some high calorie holiday treats and most importantly… Holiday Cheer!

 

Sangha Hour – Wednesday, 23 November, 10:30am – 11:30am

Why meditate? Curious about Buddhism? Looking for a spiritual connection? Why not check out the Open House every Wednesday from 10:30-11:30am at Hartford Street Zen Center. Nice company, refreshments and a casual, informal setting.
Sangha Hour is ideal for questions, exploring Buddhism, connecting, reconnecting, or just an hour of time in a social setting for those who want to enrich their current Sangha life.
*This is a new program we’re trying out and so your thoughts, comments and participation are welcome and encouraged
