SUMMARY:Turtles EcoDharma Group
DESCRIPTION:New members welcome!\nThe EcoDharma group\, known as the Turtles\, convenes on the FIRST & THIRD Thursday of the month at 7pm MST following teisho. \n  \nMeetings take place both in person at Mountain Cloud and online via: \nsit.mountaincloud.org\nPasscode: mountain22 \nDuring these gatherings\, we’ll delve into the question: “How can we\, as Zen practitioners\, respond to the current ecological crises with open hearts?” Our discussion will include analysis of recent environmental events\, relevant media\, and our personal reflections on these issues. \n∞ \nSince 2023\, members of Mountain Cloud have been engaging in deep dialogue and learning about key environmental and ecological issues and how we respond. We gather as sangha to support each other in our commitment to the healing of the world and welfare of all beings. We learn from and inspire one another through reading\, discussion\, and sharing our personal interests and actions. As we acknowledge and become more aware of the magnitude of our planetary crisis\, we aspire to transform climate grief and confusion into energy and direction for wise\, compassionate action.  \nAs one Turtle member put it: “I am coming to see that this work is about facing the unknown. My feelings of powerlessness and guilt are changing as I see\, honor\, and am inspired by other’s actions. I realize that they are like seeds germinating in my life.” \nAll Mountain Cloud members are most welcome to join.  For more information including the current reading\, contact Doug White\, doug2white@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Community Tea
DESCRIPTION:In-person only \nEvery Sunday between morning meditation* and the Intro to Zen class**\, all are welcome to enjoy tea together in the Mountain Cloud dining room. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with each other and strengthen sangha\, one of the Three Refuges on the path to liberation. \nAttending morning meditation and/or the Intro to Zen class before or after Community Tea is strongly encouraged.  \n*For morning meditation\, please arrive a few minutes before either meditation period to join. The first silent meditation period begins at 8:30am\, and the second at 9:00am.

SUMMARY:Community Tea
DESCRIPTION:In-person only \nEvery Sunday between morning meditation* and the Intro to Zen class**\, all are welcome to enjoy tea together in the Mountain Cloud dining room.

SUMMARY:Turtles EcoDharma Group
DESCRIPTION:New members welcome!\nThe EcoDharma group\, known as the Turtles\, convenes on the FIRST & THIRD Thursday of the month at 7pm MST following teisho. \n  \nMeetings take place both in person at Mountain Cloud and online via: \nsit.mountaincloud.org\nPasscode: mountain22 \nDuring these gatherings\, we’ll delve into the question: “How can we\, as Zen practitioners\, respond to the current ecological crises with open hearts?” Our discussion will include analysis of recent environmental events\, relevant media\, and our personal reflections on these issues. \n∞ \nSince 2023\, members of Mountain Cloud have been engaging in deep dialogue and learning about key environmental and ecological issues and how we respond. We gather as sangha to support each other in our commitment to the healing of the world and welfare of all beings. We learn from and inspire one another through reading\, discussion\, and sharing our personal interests and actions. As we acknowledge and become more aware of the magnitude of our planetary crisis\, we aspire to transform climate grief and confusion into energy and direction for wise\, compassionate action.  \nAs one Turtle member put it: “I am coming to see that this work is about facing the unknown. My feelings of powerlessness and guilt are changing as I see\, honor\, and am inspired by other’s actions. I realize that they are like seeds germinating in my life.” \nAll Mountain Cloud members are most welcome to join.  For more information including the current reading\, contact Doug White\, doug2white@gmail.com
