Sangha Talks From Our Stewards

We are happy to offer recordings of our past talks, for those who were in attendance who wish to review them, for those of our sangha who missed that day, to newcomers who are curious about what we’re up to.

Our practice for these talks is to first welcome everyone and acknowledge the traditions we draw on, and the beings that made our sangha possible. Then we delve into a topic of the day, presented by one of our dozen or so stewards, based on what is on their hearts that day. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we meditate, sometimes we move around, sometimes we do exercises. Sometimes we do ALL of those! At some point, we “open the mic” to anyone in the room or joining us on Zoom to offer what’s on their minds in our Dharma Sharing time. A time when we all get the opportunity to say something out loud to the community, without comment, judgement, or cross talk. Following that we end, and typically have announcements.

The recordings you’ll see here will start somewhere in the beginning, but will always end before we begin Dharma sharing, to create a safe environment for those who choose to share. So expect rather rough starts and stops in these recordings. Remember, we are NOT professionals, so we hope you don’t cling to the notion that these will be smooth videos, or even smooth presentations. A few of our stewards have some sangha training, some don’t.

With all that said, enjoy the talks and, in some cases, the text “scripts” provided by each steward as they see fit.
