Liberation Through Anger with Lama Rod Owens

SIGN UP FOR A SUNDAY CHILD CARE SHIFT
Sangha members (and non-parents) Anne Borden and Marina Watts are continuing to take shifts for our current Sunday childcare, but the goal is to get more sangha members, including parents, to take on shifts (10-11:15 and/or 11:15 – 12:30) to spread this responsibility across the entire community and increase sustainability. The current plan is to get two people to sign up for each shift.
