Since ancient times, the fire has always been center of people's homes. Fire provides warmth, cooks food, and serves as a gathering place for friends and family. By the warmth of the fire our bodies are nourished, and by the warmth of the fire our souls are comforted.

In the modern world of artificial light and artificial food, we forget that sharing a meal around the fire in the company of dear ones is essential sustenance for body and soul. In this evening together, we remember this almost forgotten ancient way, letting the hungry and restless heart draw close to those soothing flames, feasting on home cooked fare, resting in sweet stillness. 

All are welcome to this evening meditation gathering. Food will be served around the fire, followed by a period of meditation and teaching.

$20 welcomed donation. All are invited, regardless of funds.

Please bring a set of dishes and utensils for yourself (2 small bowls, spoon, fork, knife, napkin, tea cup and water glass)

The meal: vegetarian--lentil dal soup, rice, sautéed greens, tea

If you have dietary restrictions, feel free to bring portable containers of you own meal.
