While we have moved into a more permanent state of hybrid practices for both Three Treasures Sangha and Mindfulness Community of Puget Sound, our dear Dharma Gate still needs regular care & maintenance. With a decline in physical attendance at the zendo, there are fewer available hands for zendo cleaning & maintenance.
We are forming an announcement list as a way of sharing work party opportunities, as an experiment to increase participation. We hope, like the pin board in the kitchen at the zendo, this will stir a collective reminder of the work that needs to be done to care for our physical space at Dharma Gate.
By signing up for this list, you'll be registered for a google group -- (DharmaGate-workparty@mindfulnesspugetsound.org.) Kay will send out a notice from time to time, notifying what needs to be done at Dharma Gate, giving you an opportunity to support caring for our Center. You do not need to be a member of either sangha to participate.
* We also are asking for your particular interest and expertise so we may reach out to you directly to see if you might be able to create specific support in particular areas.
* Please let us know if there are particular areas that you may want to lead, organize or show up for on a regular basis. We'd love to grow this collective practice between our two sanghas.
Types of work that needs to be done at Dharma Gate over the span of a year:
Building: window washing, organizing, general building repairs, electrical, plumbing, painting, general cleaning, and laundry.
Gardening: weeding, pruning, renovations, watering (trees on parking strip), lawn mowing, edging, organizing in the winter. We meet on the last Saturday of the month and are off in the winter months of December - February.
Please contact Kay with any questions at kayandlarry@gmail.com.
