From the World of Confusion to the Place of Freedom and Inclusiveness

Sangha Offerings from Order of Interbeing members Aurora Leon and Sara Henry, as well as a Dharma Talk by ordained Dharma Teacher and Order of Interbeing member Fern Dorresteyn. 

Dear friends on the path,

MorningSun Community wholeheartedly welcomes you to spend a day of mindfulness in our beloved community. This is an online Day of Practice together with a ceremony to honor and practice with the present struggles and awakening of our society, namely many deaths and hardships caused by racism and covid-19. 

No matter where we are in the world, what is happening in our lives, we can put down our projects, individual schedules, and sense of isolation and grief, as we drop deeply into the spirit of community presence together.

We are grateful to have senior Dharma Teacher Fern Dorresteyn and OI members Aurora Leon and Sara Henry share their experiences from their hearts and compassion. They will convey how this time of suffering can be a profound opportunity for deepening our spiritual practice and strengthening our capacity to be compassionately present with our suffering.

These crises of racism and covid-19 are experienced both collectively and individually. This is a rare chance to heal ourselves and our collective lives, touch true compassion with each other, and still experience the interbeing of life. Now is the time to practice as one spiritual family, and journey deeper into the heart of our practice than ever before.
