Evening Schedule

Our Fall Practice theme is THE GOLDEN WIND. It is a poignant and autumnal koan from The Blue Cliff Record, case 27:

 

Yunmen’s Golden Wind

 

A monk asked Yunmen, “When the tree withers and the leaves fall, what’s happening?”

 

Yunmen replied, “It’s revealing the golden wind.”

 

The new season begins this Wednesday, October 2.

To celebrate the start of our new year of practice together, we will have a special evening of practice in the narthex of the beautiful Saint Ignatius Chapel.

 

We will also have a lovely reception, featuring delicious pizza, from 6 pm to 7 pm.

We will continue to meet both live (in the Multifaith Chapel in Campion) and via Zoom. If you would like to join us on Zoom and are not already on the listserv, please send us a message and you will receive the secure Zoom invitation.
