This retreat is cancelled due to unhealthy air quality. We have been in contact with Heather Sundberg, who lives up the hill in Nevada City. She was intending to offer the daylong retreat at SBMG this Saturday. Earlier this summer she got terribly sick from smoke inhalation, and the experience of several days this week of air quality in the “Very Unhealthy” range has now made her sick again. She has just evacuated her home in order to head east in search of clean air for a week, until some much-needed and anticipated rain next week which will allow her to return. She expressed tremendous regret in having to cancel the daylong. I, for one, greatly appreciate the rare opportunities that we get to sit with Heather at SBMG, and hope we will continue to invite her to share her wisdom with our dharma community. Even as she was facing the effects of this disaster in her own life (as well as many of her students), she was mindful and deliberate, and thinking of others at SBMG, and discerning what is most needed in order to ease suffering. I hope you join me in wishing her good health and strength.
