HALF-DAY ELECTION SESSHIN

  • Milwaukee Zen Center 2825 N Stowell Ave Milwaukee, WI 53211 USA (map)

You are invited to a peaceful morning of silent sitting. Everybody is welcome, either in person or online.

Today we are starting to host an Election Retreat (www.electionretreat.org) until November 5:
The upcoming 2024 General Election will be a watershed event in the history of our nation and the world. We are committed to working tirelessly to save all beings.
MZC is involved in the effort by hosting Dharma events, including Dharma talks, offering overnight stay for individuals and encouraging the sangha to join efforts to get out the vote:
MZC works together with organizations such as the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, Souls To The Polls, and Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign. Individuals can also choose to join partisan groups for canvassing. Several people will stay overnight at different places.

Several Dharma teachers will offer online talks during the next two weeks and meals will be shared locally.
Today, we offer a vegetarian oryoki breakfast. Let Reirin know if you have any dietary needs. Bring your own oryoki bowls or borrow some from us.

Fee for today’s practice: $20 for non-members; membership discount applies.
