On Sunday, March 23rd, All Beings Zen Sangha gathered for a half-day retreat at Blue Ridge Farm. Just as the sun was rising, we sat together for three periods of zazen in the ‘pig-shed-zendo,’ followed by periods of kinhin (walking meditation) across our Sangha member’s beautiful farm. After sitting in silence, immersed in the sounds of nature, we added our own voices with a short chanting service and group sharings. We concluded our time of being together with a delicious potluck on the balcony, overlooking the spring landscape of Blue Ridge Farm — sharing stories, laughter, and nourishment amidst the ever-changing world. It was a wonderful and much needed retreat into nature.
Below is a video clip of our day together. Enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1HNHJfUDgf/?mibextid=wwXIfr.
