Opening During Covid-19: We are happy to open our doors to the public for these nourishing, heart-felt, and refreshing events. If you have any symptoms or might have been exposed to Covid-19 or other respiratory viruses, we ask that you stay home and practice with us in your hearts. Indoor spaces will be ventilated with windows cracked open and an air purifier running, so if it is cold, please wear warm layers. Face masks are optional so please bring a mask to wear if you would like. Thank you so much for your presence and care.
Sign up for our Weekly E-Letter for details on themes of practice for the day and updates to our practice schedule.
$10-40 Suggested Contribution (to practice together is the most important gift, so if your current financial situation is challenging please still come and don’t worry about making a donation).
Please sign up on the simple registration form below (so we can be prepared to receive you). We will cap registration to keep the numbers reasonable. Please email us at morningsunoffice@gmail.com if the registration form is closed and you would like to come.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so you can settle in before we begin. After you park in either of the two dirt parking lots, please walk to El Cielo or the Forest Hall. El Cielo is the light blue building on the main road at 81 Rose Apple Lane. The Forest Hall is within campus, a small cobb-built hall. There are wooden signs pointing to both.
