Mountains and Waters Alliance event notices Oct 15 2025

The book tour is now two weeks old. Fall colors are waning, Vermont is beautiful anyway. The U.S. Federal government is shut down, ICE continues but is met by brilliant funny protestors in animal costumes, judges are ruling in favor of the people and the illegal government continues to break laws.

That’s all I’m going to say right now, except to quote Saul Alinsky: “The best organizer is the enemy.”

I had wanted to write beautiful prose about the driving, the trees, the beautiful people I’m meeting – but time is short. So I’m just going to announce some events. At some point I’ll slow down and offer Dharma and/or poetry.

All events are at this page.

  • Tonight (10/15) Norwich Books, Vermont.
  • 10/16-19, Thursday to Sunday, 3-day gentle retreat at Zen Center North Shore, Wenham, MA. Sunday’s talk is open to the public. 
  • Sunday, 10/26 9:30 am,  talk at Village Zendo in New York City.
  • others – but let me particularly add my online talk with Zen Peacemakers, November 20, noon Eastern Time.

Love and peace. And courage and commitment.

 

Shodo
