Offer Dana
Dana, or generosity, is considered an essential part of practice and situates us in the unbroken line that seeks to bring the gifts of Buddhadharma, wisdom and compassion, to our world.

Prepare for the first gathering:
In our first session we will be opening with a ceremony to awaken our collective love. What do you love that reminds you of the truth of ‘Interbeing’? What do you find beautiful (people, places, ecosystems, more-than-human beings)? Who/what are you willing to struggle for? The word Interbeing was coined by Buddhist teacher Thich Naht Hahn to explain the fundamental truth of our interconnectedness and interdependence with all being and all things.
Each person will have 1-2 minutes to share with the full group. You can bring an object you love, or a photo, share a song, a story, or honor your love through silence or non-verbal movements.
