Hi there,
As Kathleen wrote in the email about tomorrow's class, I'll need to miss what was going to be my final gathering. It's a big deal for me to not have a formal transition and in-person good-bye. I'm also sorry to not give a chance to anyone who wanted to say good-bye in person. I assumed I would be there until this past week, when a confluence of unexpected events made it not possible.
I'm thrilled that Ofosu was able to step in...just sorry I won't be there for his class. He's a fantastic teacher, so enjoy! And a huge thank you to Kathleen for making this possible!
Some more thank you's: I can see the sangha growing and strengthening in its new location at the Potter's House and with the wise and heartfelt leadership of Linda, Devin, and Kristin, with whom it's been a blessing to work and get to know. A thank you, as well, to all the sangha members who've contributed with presence, time, money, sharing, teaching, and heart. I've personally worked most closely with Erin Brantley and Scott Drewes - I feel incredible appreciation to you two for your leadership, strength in speaking up, and the many many ways you kept the sangha going during times of transition.
Lastly, to Nancy Murphy, as you move from the DC area in early June, I can't overstate how richly you've contributed to our sangha. A deep bow from me to you. Many blessings in the next phase.
Kind regards,
Klia
