What people are saying…

“It is as though I have found my spiritual home. I am so grateful for both Mary & Ginger who so generously share their time, knowledge and open hearts. I appreciate the varied activities that are offered: in-person walking meditations and ceremonies, relaxed meditations, book clubs, etc. The prospect of a sangha forming is very exciting.”

“This book and group have added immeasurably to my life. What a wonderful experience of people sharing deep concerns for the welfare of other beings and the planet through a Buddhist lens. The structure of short readings at home based on an excellent book with a weekly Zoom meeting filled with personal sharing, meditations, and welcoming humans has been thought provoking, inspiring, nurturing, and potentially transformative. Thank you Mary and Ginger for creating this wonderful space and giving of your generous spirit.”
