To participate in working meditation can be a great happiness. It is an opportunity to engage in the maintenance and care of our practice center while enjoying our practice of mindfulness. When we wash the cars, turn the compost piles, or chop wood, we stay mindful of our breathing and the activity that we are doing. When we work in the garden, we get in touch with the plants and nourish our connection to the earth. Sweeping and mopping the meditation halls, we see that we are already practicing to calm our mind and body.

Working Meditation links us to our everyday life, both here and when we return home.

Please join us for our September 2025 Mindful Community Work Weekend with arrival on Friday afternoon, Sept 26 and departure on Sunday afternoon, Sept 28. There is a 50% discount available for the weekend. We ask that you arrive on Friday afternoon and depart on Sunday, if possible.

Thank you for being a flower in the garden of our community!
