Press Releases - Ser Cho Osel Link UpdateJuly 2, 2005 Ser Chö Ösel Ling UpdatePractice and Work Retreat - July 19-23![]() Long retreat kitchen complex (arriving in the late afternoon of the 19th). Land Stewards are organizing this event to accomplish removal of bitter brush from the fire protection areas that we are thinning this year, AND to support our dharma practice for the benefit of all beings. We will work a longer session in the morning hours and a second shorter session in the early evening since we expect it to be hot mid-days during that part of July. We will be cutting the brush and transporting it to future burn piles. Other jobs will be available as The practice schedule will be early morning shamata, and then 3 hours in the afternoon to do our individual practices. In the evening we will also do a group Chenrezig puja. Our hope is to carry our practice into our work, incorporating awareness and compassion for ourselves and all beings. We will remind each other to pace ourselves and to work in mindful ways. If you have questions about whether you feel fit enough for the work, or any other questions, please get in touch. Also, we could use the support of a dedicated cook if anyone is inclined. Otherwise we will take turns cooking the meals. You must let us know if you are thinking of coming to all or part of the event. More details will be available after we know who is coming. Karen Wallace will be out at the land next week, July 6,7,8 to guide Thanks so much and please contact us for more information. Karen Karen Nelson
