Fourth Saturday Gardening at Dharma Gate

Join us in our gardens at Dharma Gate (1910 24th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98144) to help care for our precious space. In a joint gathering of sangha family, Mindfulness Community of Puget Sound and Three Treasures Sangha, we gather monthly to pull weeds, water, prune and plant, based on the timing of the year. We can provide gloves and tools or you’re welcome to bring your own. An opportunity to bring mindfulness while you work in the garden. (See here for Service Meditation)

Sign up here to join our work party announcement email list.

Dates of Second Quarter of 2024

     * May 25 (Memorial Day weekend)
* June 29
* July 27

The time for each of these gatherings is 10 am to 1 pm. 

Note From Kay:

It’s hard to forecast the weather but the idea of changing the time each quarter of the year is to avoid heat and cold.  You are welcome to come earlier and/or stay later if the temperature is extreme.  All work will be outside during the summer.  The front yard is getting a bit of a makeover and we hope to install a viewing bench at the top of the new wall in the back, as well as refinish the wood outdoors, all while keeping the weeds at bay.

I so appreciate all those who helped in the basement this winter.  We have improved the look and functionality of the stairwell and bathroom, increased the lighting, organized the tool area and cleaned out the paint room.  There is a pile of ‘leftovers’ waiting to go to the dump together with remains from our upcoming garage sale.

Thanks to those who helped with these projects and I hope to see others of you in the coming 3 months.  –Kay (kayandlarry@gmail.com)

Help MCPS & TTS care for Dharma Gate
Join a work-party announcement email list

With a now more permanent state of hybrid practices for both Three Treasures Sangha and Mindfulness Community of Puget Sound, our dear Dharma Gate still needs regular care & maintenance. We’ve experienced a decline in physical attendance at the zendo, so there are fewer available hands for zendo cleaning & maintenance. We are forming an announcement list as a way of sharing work party opportunities, as an experiment to increase participation. We hope, like the pin board in the kitchen at the zendo, this will stir a collective reminder of the work that needs to be done to care for our physical space at Dharma Gate.

Complete this google form with your contact information, interest & experience if you’d like to join us in doing regular work in the gardens, zendo and Dharma Gate facility  (https://forms.gle/fXwdo66FfVaxhKNU7) or reach out to info@mindfulnesspugetsound.org if completing the form is an obstacle.

Kay will send out a work party invitation from time to time, notifying what needs to be done at Dharma Gate, giving you an opportunity to support caring for our Center. You do not need to be a member of either sangha to participate.

Please contact Kay with any questions about the work parties at kayandlarry@gmail.com or Laura with any questions about registering for the google group or completing the google form at info@mindfulnesspugetsound.org.
