SUMMARY:POTLUCK DHARMA ~ with Joryu Myosei & Riyaz Motan
DESCRIPTION:You bring the Wisdom.

It has now grown into a seasonal gathering where participants are invited to bring their own wisdom\, reflections\, and experiences to the table\, much like the assortment of dishes at a potluck meal. \nThe day is all about sharing – insights\, wisdom\, and stories – creating a laid-back yet profound forum to explore spiritual truths and life’s deeper questions. After a morning program of meditation\, dharma talks\, and discussion\, we’ll gather in the afternoon with a delicious\, farm-to-table\, vegetarian meal that is included with registration\, and equally important in feeding the soul. We’ll close with an herbal tisane\, dessert\, and a special musical guest. \nJoin us to connect and grow together\, while supporting a worthy cause. \nPlease note that this event will be recorded and potentially shared. There will be video recording of the teachers during the morning session and discrete photography of the group throughout the day. No faces or names of participants will be included on video. Your participation in this event implies consent for us to use your image or your voice\, so please share accordingly. \nFeaturing: \nJoryu Myosei\nJoryu Myosei is a spiritual guide\, mindfulness\, meditation\, and inquiry teacher\, licensed marriage and family therapist\, and intuitive healer.
