Please join us for our annual work retreat on Saturday, August 16th, and Sunday, August 17th, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day.
You’re welcome to arrive at any time, but please plan to stay for at least one hour. Let us know when you’ll be coming so we can prepare enough lunch for everyone. Register for free here https://forms.gle/VCrftRjDMw28f7Vt8

Work retreats are not silent, so it’s a wonderful chance to help the Zen Center while enjoying good conversation with fellow practitioners.
This year’s projects include:
Deep cleaning the kitchen
Painting the caretaker’s room
Cleaning the Dharma room
Outdoor weeding
Please wear work clothes. This is a great way to support the Zen Center and connect with other Sangha members.
See you soon!
