DHARMA TALK BY CRAIG BARNES, TUESDAY, MAY 21
On Tuesday, May 21, 2013 we are happy to welcome Craig Barnes– author, playwright, radio talk show host, lecturer, mediator, and essayist (among other accomplishments) to our sangha. The 45 minute silent meditation will begin at 6:00 p.m., followed by the dharma talk. Craig’s working title is Finding Courage to Believe in Goodness. Given the state of our country and the rest of the world today, it promises to be an interesting evening.
DHARMA TALK BY SANDRA ABHAYA KOPKA, TUESDAY, MAY 28
Sandra Abhaya Kopka will lead the meditation and present a dharma talk on Tuesday, May 28. She has practiced Buddhist meditation for 23 years, and is a retired Hospice Chaplain and a graduate of the Community Dharma Leader Program at Spirit Rock.
