Inner and Outer Restoration at Green Gulch
Each season we go to Green Gulch Farm near Muir Beach for an afternoon of Watershed Stewardship. After a delicious organic lunch, we gather for an overview of the day’s work and choose jobs that suit our interests and capabilities. Tasks include: removal of exotics, trail building, planting of natives, wood gathering, and sheet mulching. After a couple of hours’ work, we gather for tea and muffins.
We then hold a short Green Sangha meeting, whose content varies according to the season and our collective inclination – from sharing news and plans to a letter-writing action to a walk down to the beach.
We end with deep silence, meditating with the larger community in the Zendo. Bring comfortable layers for changeable weather, sturdy shoes, a hat, and gloves if you have them.
