For years, we have wanted to have a retreat<br />
which included our children and, in September,<br />
Sister Jina led our autumn retreat which<br />
included 50 adults and eight children, ranging<br />
inage from five years to mid-teens. We had a<br />
special opportunity to discuss the Five Wonderful<br />
Precepts with Sister Jina, and explore<br />
how they make a difference in our lives.<br />
In November, we had a nourishing and<br />
productive Sangha Day to celebrate our<br />
Sangha's sixth birthday! Sitting and outdoor<br />
walking kept usgrounded and focused, while<br />
two discussion periods allowed us to reflect on<br />
our past and share visions for our future.<br />
