Living Earth offers a weekly Monday evening dharma circle in NE Portland. See Livingearthgatherings.org/living-earth-dharma-circle-5/ for details.

With insights from the world's non-dual wisdom traditions, Dharma Circles offer time to step away from roles and routines, opinions and attitudes, and melt into the wide open space of the heart.

Dharma reflection, silent sitting, and silent movement soften our boundaries and bring greater ease, clarity, and perspective to all we do for peace, justice, beauty, and balance in our world.

Mondays 7:00-8:30 pm The Little Church 5138 NE 23rd Ave., one block north of Alberta Suggested donation $5-$10

Impact NW is gearing up for our largest event of the summer, Yoshida’s Sand in the City in Pioneer Courthouse Square! To make the festival the best it can be we dedicated and enthusiastic Volunteer Leaders to help manage our set of “floater” volunteers, which do a little bit of everything during the festival! The floater volunteer chair would assist in creating position descriptions and task lists for the floater volunteers, and would act as the main point of contact for floaters at the festival July 15-17, 2011.

This coming weekend, Friends of Trees staff and volunteers would love your company at either of two large North Portland plantings or in Happy Valley helping our Green Space team. The first of these plantings will take place at St. Johns Christian Church, 8044 N Richmond Ave, Portland, OR 97203 (map) and will serve the Cathedral Park, St. Johns, and University Park neighborhoods. The second event, happening concurrently, will be staged at the Portland Village School, 7654 N Delaware Ave Portland, OR 97217-6417 (map) and will serve the Kenton and Portsmouth neighborhoods. Both are very large plantings, so we would love you to considering joining!
