We invite you to join us as we commemorate the one-year anniversary of the passing of Reverend Dr. Larry Ward, True Great Sound. Gathering in beloved community, we will remember, celebrate, and honor the continuing presence of our beloved ancestor, elder, friend, and teacher. There will be ceremony and ritual, as well as chanting, poetry, and storytelling. Speakers: Dr. Peggy Rowe Ward, Kaira Jewel Lingo, Sister Peace, Joe Reilly, Reggie Hubbard, Dr. Kamilah Majied and Reverend Genjo.

Hosted by Lama Willa and Deborah Eden Tull, these gatherings invite us to experience Dharma not as fixed doctrine, but as a living, relational field—one that emerges spontaneously through authentic dialogue and shared presence. Guests for this series include Kazu Haga, Susie Harrington, Kritee Kanko, Adam Lobel, Thanissara, and Karen Waconda-Lewis, with additional guests to be announced. You only need to register once to access the full year of monthly Dharma Dialogues and you may join at any point during the series.

This program brings together Buddhist teachings of emptiness and interdependence, awakening and liberation, embodied mindfulness, and nature-connection practices to explore what it means to be human — and to belong — in a world that is wild, uncertain, impermanent, and astonishingly alive. We will practice in nature, with nature, and as nature. Offered freely in the spirit of generosity, supported in part by Dharma Gates and the broader community of donors. Intended for participants ages 18–35.
