Vote, Retreat, and Convene!

Vote on Tuesday!
Tuesday is Election Day, our chance to make our voices heard on a number of candidates and issues.  Green Sangha urges you to go to the polls and vote for a sustainable future.  VOTE YES ON PROP 37.  Check our blog for a lengthy, fascinating article by Charlotte Silver.

Better yet, send this page on GMO labelling by California Right to Know to your friends and family.  Let’s spread the word and get Prop 37 passed!

Inner & Outer Restoration at Green Gulch, Sun Nov 11

Choose your task from a variety of land-tending, creek-restoring activities, light to vigorous.  After a couple of hours we break for muffins, tea, and conversation.  End the day with silent meditation in the Zendo, adding another stitch to the fabric of community and wholeness.  Bring a hat and other sun protection, layers for changeable weather, gloves if you have, even a favorite gardening tool if you like.  RSVP for lunch reservations and to organize carpools:  Linda Currie at (510) 558-8615.  (Elizabeth will be back in the office on Nov 10.)
