Join us to celebrate online or in person at The Hermitage!
Our Full Moon Feast will be celebrated at the Hermitage this month on Tuesday 7th March at 5:00pm BST. You're very welcome to join us either in person or online!
We'll also be celebrating Chötrul Duchen with a light offering, reciting The Samantabhadracharya Pranidhana and Lama Shenpen will tell the story of the feast. To celebrate Chötrul Duchen join early at 4:00!
The Full Moon Feast offering will start with the usual liturgy and practice it will last a few hours. You are all very welcome to attend. If you'd like to come in person, could you email [email protected]ku.gro.sha@egatimreh to help us know how many plates of feast food we'll need, how abundant an offering! You're also invited to bring a vegetarian dish to share, and whether online or in person sharing entertainment is a wonderful way to offer something of ourselves. As Monday 6th March is Milarepa Day, perhaps you'd like to offer a story from his life or there's always one of his many songs.
It will be a lovely opportunity to join together and practise, remembering and celebrating heart connections. To practise and feast together brings us back to our interrelatedness and also strengthens our connection with the lineage.
On Tuesday: Join the Chötrul Duchen celebration and feast on Zoom!
