Dear friends,
I am happy to let you know that we are planning to return to in-person classes on September 5th. I will be working over the next few weeks to make arrangements with Flow or to find another suitable venue downtown. We plan to try out a hybrid model where we have a webcam setup so that individuals can attend virtually if they so choose.
One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching the way members of this sangha have stepped up to maintain a sense of cohesiveness and community and we hope to sustain and build on that energy going forward. As part of our return, we will invite some guest teachers, including some members of this sangha, to teach some of the classes in the coming months so that we can all receive and benefit from their wisdom and perspective. We also intend to bring back the potlucks and picnics so that we can enjoy each other's company more informally. Our hope is to be consistent and proactive about filling vacancies in the schedule in advance and getting the word out across multiple platforms, including this listserv about upcoming classes and events. (I have included the upcoming teacher schedule at the bottom of this email.)
In order to sustain this sangha and to allow it to flourish, we need your help. We are looking for volunteers to help out with these changes. First, we are looking for two tech managers who can share the responsibility of setting up and managing the webcam for the hybrid classes. (We will provide the equipment.) Second, we are looking for a scheduling manager who can work with me to schedule guest teachers and help fill vacancies. Third we are looking for someone who can work with Travis to let the community know about classes, reading groups and other sangha events. Lastly, we would love any number of people who want to welcome newcomers and help orient them to the group. If you can take on one of these roles for a few months please let me know!
