Monthly Sun Med'n, Poya celebration combined. Early meditation, potluck

(In person only.)

Join Rev. Sudhamma for Nature Retreat and Poya (full moon) celebration.

We will meet at the house in the forest gardens formerly known as Greatwoods Zen (not far from the Vihara), for a morning of meditation and full moon observances. The center is nestled in 28 beautiful acres of woods out Hickory Grove Rd - a lovely oasis in the City.

Our activities may be indoors in the zendo and out in the forest, depending upon the weather. (We have access to the zen house for at least the next few months.)

All friendly people are welcome! On this full moon date we honor the Buddha by observing the October full moon with traditional activities: we meditate, listen to Dhamma teachings, take Refuge & 5 Precepts, chant recollection of the Buddha, and enjoy a potluck brunch offering together.
