Meditation & Teaching with a Lunch Gathering
Join us for a small, once-a-month group meditation led by Lama Lekshe at the community event space of sangha members Janessa and Wilder's out in beautiful Corbett, Oregon. Arrive at 10:15 or a little earlier and we'll start at 10:30 AM. There are many small zafus, but it's also fine to bring your own bench, lightweight chair or sitting cushion. You might want to bring a shawl or jacket and warm socks for sitting.
We'll sit for half hour or so, have a very short teaching and follow with an open discussion and a lively lunch together. We'll be joined by people living in intentional community on the land, and neighbors nearby. It's casual, friendly and beginner-friendly. You'll get the address when you register.
Donations for event expenses are helpful. Your $10 helps Dekeling cover gas expenses for the teacher and food for our shared, delicious lunch, but if this is a hardship, please register and come anyway. All are welcome. Sometimes the farm has fresh eggs for sale. $8 a dozen, cash accepted.
For more information, email Janessafortes@gmail.com
Corbett is about 40 minutes up the Columbia River from Portland.
Accessibility note: When you get to the land, you'll park and a walk several feet up a flight of stairs to the sitting space. There is no safe access for those who cannot manage stairs.
