Refuge and Precepts study series
Jun 12 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

It’s time, friends, to launch our Refuge and Precepts study series:
Refuge in the Bodhisattva Way

which will extend from this month, June, 2025, all the way
to March, 2026 at our Spring retreat, where we will hold
a Refuge Ceremony for any who are ready to formally
take refuge in the Bodhisattva Way.

We’ll be holding two meetings per month, as consistently as we can through the year.  We’ll start with meetings on Thursdays, June 12 and 26, at 6 PM Mountain Time.
The meeting of the 12th will be in person and Zoom.
The meeting of the 26th will be on Zoom only.

You are welcome to participate whether or not you are considering formally taking refuge.  All of us long for refuge, and wish to offer refuge, and this process of deep inquiry into refuge itself, and vows, and ethical teachings is one we find most powerful when we take it up both individually and in community.

Questions?  Feel free to contact Sarah at sembender@gmail.com.
And if you are considering taking refuge, please let her know this, especially if the times listed do not work in your schedule.
