One month after inaugurating Sunday practice, we needed to add more cushions to the zendo this morning to accommodate everyone. One practitioner commented, “Sunday practice is huge for us. My wife and I have been here more in the past month than in the previous five years!”
Today we also held the first of our first-Sunday workdays. After a delicious potluck lunch, six sangha members pitched in to move furniture, organize shelves, add no-slip strips to the back stairs, prepare new materials for addition to the library, and do some general cleaning. A gratifying amount was accomplished, and practitioners had the opportunity to eat, work and practice together.
-
- Rusty Borkin and Les Morris carry an old and rickety table out to the curb. It was gone before we could even put a “Free” sign on it.
-
- Mary Bernau-Eigen prepares new materials to add to the library.
-
- Rusty Borkin checks progress as Les and Mary Morris work on moving the kitchen table.
-
- Chucj Eigen prepares safety strips for the back stairs.
-
- The back stairs are much safer now.
-
- We moved the green-topped fixture from the bathroom to the kitchen for more counter space and storage.
-
- The green counter’s previous home in the bathroom temporarily houses supplies.
Our next potluck and workday is March 4. Please join us!
