Gather in Generosity: Day of Mindfulness in Hayward Sept. 17
You’re invited to gather as a community dedicated to cultivating generosity.
We are offering a day of mindfulness on September 17 — an opportunity to experience mindfulness and generosity, and to connect with other local sanghas and practitioners in the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.
We will also raise funds to support building the monks’ residence at Deer Park Monastery, fostering a space for monastics to live and for lay people to take refuge.
Let’s practice the spirit of dana: receiving when we need it and giving when we have enough.
We are excited to announce that Dharma teacher Denise Bergez has offered to give a Dharma talk this day.

- Date and time: Sunday, Sept. 17, 8:45am – 3:30pm
