Mobile Monastery Chautauqua Tour in Middlesex

Hello Middlesex! A group of touring monastic practitioners are making their way through Middlesex March 1st for a donation based workshop and offerings extravaganza! This group of facilitators come all the way from the beautiful hills of Vermont at The Monastic Academy where they live and study Buddhist and Native traditions. They travel the nation once a year and share their talents and techniques to people who may not be able to make it all the way to Vermont. It’s called the Mobile Monastery Chautauqua Tour continuing the beautiful Chautauqua tradition of sharing wisdom and talents in a traveling caravan.

Each event is unique to the city, the venue and their preferences. For Middlesex they are offering:
