We will gather together to acknowledge and grieve for the death of our children through abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, and death after birth. We will make offerings and say good-bye in a ceremony of remembrance and letting go, with the intention of nurturing and tending both the beings who have died and those who continue to live. This ceremony will take place in the Jizo garden at Byakuren’s country home (about 45 minutes away from the Twin Cities). The day will include outdoor sitting and walking meditation, a talk on the meaning of Jizo, making an offering, and the ceremony itself. Both men and women are welcome. Bring a brown bag lunch, a small piece of red cloth, scissors, needle and thread. Dress for the weather. Maximum 8 people.
