About the Fundraiser for Mountain Home Sanctuary

This event presents an opportunity to practice generosity and to celebrate the blessings of gathering in spiritual community. The net proceeds from Potluck Dharma will be donated to Rosie Siscon to support her in honoring Rob Schwartz, co-founder of Open Circle, and his vision to maintain his property, Mountain Home Sanctuary, as a retreat space for spiritual gatherings. Your generous donations for this event help with the ongoing expenses inherent in keeping this special place open and available for sangha.

Joryu Myosei created and leads Potluck Dharma as a monthly community practice gathering and holds an annual fundraising event in November for Mountain Home Sanctuary with the help of so many in our community. John & Christiane Prendergast, have generously joined this year to offer their deep and embodied wisdom. Mirabai will be offering devotional music to open our hearts with her soulful voice and instruments. Rosie Siscon has lovingly stewarded Mountain Home Sanctuary as a place for us to gather. Phil Deardorff and Rick Bierman, along with the Open Circle team, have volunteered their time and efforts to get the word out and ensure the day runs smoothly. And so many others in the community have provided ideas, resources, and helping hands to bring the Potluck Dharma Annual Fundraiser to life.

And the last ingredient is you! We can’t wait to share the wisdom, the music, and the meal with all of you. Thank you so much for joining us and for your contribution!
