Every year, we have practitioners preparing for their lay ordination, by sewing a rakusu, the mini version of the Buddha’s robe. This year, there are four in our sangha: Greg York, Kellett Koch, Helen and Devin Drobka. In addition, Chris Kolon is sewing his priest robe and Mary Bernau-Eigen is preparing for lay entrustment.

Anne Johnson is our beloved and worthy sewing teacher, who has already taught and supported many of our students in their pursuit of the Bodhisattva Path.
