About this Offering
The Everyday Caring Covid-19 Support Group is an online offering for regular Bay Area EDZ practitioners during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Together, we'll use the group to help keep our sangha and connections strong during the uncertainty of these times.
This Dharma Support Group will be offered weekly on Mondays on a drop-in basis using the online platform Zoom (more info below). It will be facilitated by Chris Fortin, Jaune Evans, James Flaherty, and Andrea Jacoby.
Our first session is Monday, March 23rd, 7:00–8:30. Thereafter, starting Monday March 30th and continuing on, we'll meet instead 4:00–6:30.
We will sit together, there will be a small dharma refection and encouragement, and time to check in and share our lives, concerns, and practice with each other.
