Come celebrate the bounty of the season at Cleveland Shambhala!
Harvest of Peace is one of Shambhala’s Nyida holidays, marking the changing of the seasons. It is a time to gather together for meditation, good food, and good conversation. A time to contemplate what nourishes, strengthens, and sustains us, individually, and as a community.
Appreciation is at the heart of this Harvest of Peace celebration. We have so much to be thankful for — the teachings of our lineage, our beautiful space, the talents and generosity of our community, our sangha, and time spent together.
The day will begin with sitting meditation, incorporating some English language chants.
We will end with a celebratory potluck lunch and socializing.
9:30 a.m. Coffee and tea, social time
10:00 a.m. (Sharp!) Meditation and chanting practice.
11:00-ish: Greetings from the Center Director, discussion of Generosity, membership, and fundraising.
