SUMMARY:Family Program Offering: Ancestors’ Ritual\, GGF 10/4
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we honor our ancestors and the turning of the seasons. \nThis morning offering from the SFZC Family Program is inspired by the Soto Zen ceremony known as Sejiki – and is a time for honoring those who have died. \nTraditionally\, Sejiki is a ceremony held in the fall for remembering the deceased and offering food and incense for their nurturance. \nIn our adapted family-friendly version of Sejiki\, we will honor our ancestors and loved ones and extend this practice to include our beloved pets and animals who have passed away\, offering treats and small gifts as a way of remembering them. \nTogether\, through shared stories\, creative projects\, and movement\, we will hold grief as a community\, while making time to honor the fall season and receive the Dharma as it is revealed through the land. \nAdvance registration is required.  If it feels right to you\, you may bring a small item to add to the altar we will create together.

SUMMARY:Sunday Tea Gathering\, GGF 10/4 – Waitlist Only
DESCRIPTION:A kettle of water boiling over a charcoal fire; host and guests gather around to share tea and conversation. \nThe Way of Tea is a Japanese tradition transmitted for centuries\, which emphasizes coming together to share our lives as we drink a bowl of tea. It may be seen as a spiritual practice\, an art form\, a social gathering; and includes the appreciation of calligraphy\, flowers\, ceramics\, and many other crafts\, as well as the preparation of the tea itself. \nYou are invited to join us in the quiet setting of Sowing the Moon Tea House for conversation\, a traditional Japanese sweet\, and a bowl of matcha (whisked green tea). All guests will be seated on stools. No prior experience is necessary; brief instructions will be given to help you fully participate. \nPlease plan to wear shoes that are easy to slip off and socks\, and bring a handkerchief. Comfortable clothing with a long (over-the-knee) skirt or long pants is appropriate.
