A green, joyful Memorial Day weekend for All Beings Zen Sangha. On Saturday, we had a half-day retreat at Woodburn Hill Farm — feeling the breeze through open windows during zazen, engaging in work practice on the land, and concluding with black bean soup and more around the old wooden farm table. Then, on Sunday mid-morning, many of us spent a couple of peaceful hours forest bathing together in Washington, D.C.
