We invite you to share in moments from the Summer Opening for families. Over these three weeks, more than 2,000 lay practitioners – including 170 teenagers and 480 children came to live in simplicity, cultivating awareness, understanding, and compassion.
We are deeply grateful to our spiritual friends big and small, especially the more than 120 volunteers who offered their joy and skills to make the Summer Opening possible.
