Summer Practice Immersion 2024

 This year we had a new practice opportunity allowing people to join a monastic-like schedule for a period of 3 days up to a week.  Several people joined enthusiastically into days of
  • morning and evening meditation, 
  • formal meals, 
  • chanting services three times a day 
  • blocks of work practice.  
There were opportunities to connect with one another and periods of noble silence. 

Participants engaged in many varieties of work practice including: deep cleaning in the basement, sewing, cooking, organizing the shed, sharpening knives & tools, weeding the Temple bushes, weeding the vegetable garden and repainting cemetery memorial markers.
