Festival of Thanksgiving
Nov 19 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

In the Soto Zen tradition, showing gratitude is thought to be an important virtue and while the holiday of Thanksgiving could be seen as a secular holiday, it seems like an auspicious time to give expression to our gratitude for the many blessings we receive and especially the opportunity encounter and practice the Dharma. Please join us for a morning of meditation and this festival ceremony followed by tea and a Dharma talk.

The morning usually starts with a little walking meditation and some guided sitting meditation followed by a story and some activity that will allow us to explore practice in daily life. We end the morning with a snack and closing circle. Parents are encouraged to come and practice with their children.
