The Green Gulch celebration is coming soon! Saturday afternoon at 12:15 Daimian and I will break our fast at a celebratory lunch in the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center dining room. And you're invited! This will be a joyful and happy time, but also one that is conscious and centered rather than raucous or orgiastic (that will come later, baby) to appreciate the peace cultivated at Green Gulch. Wearing dark or muted colors is respectful of the Zen atmosphere at Green Gulch.

A small contribution to the Center of around $7 for lunch will be appropriate.

Please let one of us know by noon Thursday if you're planning on coming, so that we can ensure there will be space and food for you!

Green Gulch Farm Zen Center is an active, practicing Zen Buddhist Temple, sangha, and organic farm. It is a sacred and beautiful valley community, one of my favorite places in the world. It is located in Marin, in a seaside valley between Marin City and Muir Beach. Before and after lunch are both great times to meditate or to take sweet hikes to the beach or up into the bluffs overlooking the ocean. The food they prepare is simple, dense, natural, and amazingly delicious -- largely of ingredients they grow there at the farm. (It's exactly what my body wants right now -- nature's most basic and pure building blocks in delicious, minimalist combinations.)

Daimian and I are going to spend Friday night in the guesthouse (a building constructed in the demanding Japanese style, without nails), and I'm going to also stay Saturday night. The weekly Sunday morning Buddhist meditation service, tea service, and lunch (sort of their version of Sunday church service), as well as Friday night also are good times to pay a visit.

See you there!
