Seabeck Regional Retreat

Registration to participate in the Seabeck Regional Retreat this year is now open. You may register online at srfseattlecenter.org. The silent retreat will be held from June 7 to 9 at the Seabeck Conference Center, led by visiting monastics, Brother Jitananda and Brother Maitrimoy. For further information, please visit our website. 

Chanting Session:

Following the Reading Service this hour, we’ll have an extended chanting session from 12-1pm here in the chapel. The theme for this session is “Hidden Gems in the Cosmic Chants Book”, and will be a selection of the less-commonly played chants during our regular services. The session will be comprised of mostly continuous chanting plus a few brief periods of meditation. You are all invited to join, including children, for any length of time. We look forward to experiencing the special blessings of group chanting together.

Fundraising for Upcoming Projects

The Managing Council would like to thank you for your outpouring of generous support of the planned upgrades to the Center. These include upgrading the audio equipment in the chapel and installing interior and exterior speakers, replacing a portion of the fencing of the property that was damaged in a winter storm last year, and funding the new front lawn signage to match the upgraded designs for SRF Centers and Temples. The projected costs of the upgrades are $36,500, and we have raised $12,000 to date. We will continue to collect donations for these projects through June of this year. Donations for the projects can be made online or by mailing checks to our Center. We invite your support of this work through your financial contributions, meditations and prayers. 

Reading Service:

The reading service for today is: The Balanced Life.
