What is a “lazy” day of mindfulness? This means we are holding the schedule loosely, so as to make this day as restful as it is mindful. Come late, leave early – it’s okay.

Dear Sangha Friends,
Best of these days for all beings.
With consideration for causes and conditions, we will not be gathering this Saturday, May 30th, at Vacaville Wisdom Meditation School.
Our next scheduled Day of Mindfulness is July 11th. Should situations then preclude gathering in person, some alternative will be offered so that we may continue sharing these events.
Beneficial Journeys,
John Salerno-White
Chân Địa An
