VIRTUAL FULL MOON MEDITATION with Natalie Johnson Thursday, August 11 6:00 - 6:45 pm This Full Moon is in the sign of Aquarius who encourages us to dream higher and deeper.  We have just stepped into the Age of Aquarius and are only now learning to navigate its terrain.  Having recently emerged from 2000 years of the Piscean Age with its emphasis on sacrifice, we are entering into a new era of hope and boundless possibilities. Join us tonight as we explore some of the ways we can each weave our own talents and gifts into this new tapestry of our becoming. Know that

Just This Sangha meets virtually (via Zoom) nearly every Friday evening from 6:00 to 7:30 for silent meditation and sharing of our practice experience.  From a Buddhist, particularly Zen, perspective, we focus on bringing practice to daily life; exploring letting go of our usual habitual reactivity and opening to our selves and others as we actually are.   Not a drop-in group, we do welcome potentially new members to join us for a few sessions to see if the group is a good fit.  Contact Tom Tanguay at Thisjustthis@gmail.com for more information.

We will continue scheduling weekly ½ hour vigils on Saturday mornings from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon.  In addition, we will be offering training to help us respond to folks with strong opinions.   If you are interested in standing with us but would like the training first, please add your name, but put an X in the first column.  All are invited to join in. Sign up for training and/or the vigil by visiting Vigil Sign-Ups.
