Tending the Land: July Stewardship Day at SCOL
July 25, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Join us for a day of care on the retreat land, lodging and lunch included.
Ser Chö Ösel Ling, KCC’s retreat land out in Goldendale, WA, hosts work parties several times a year to serve together for major projects and larger tasks. These are opportunities to meet in a more informal setting, socialize, and complete tasks needed to operate our retreat facility and a property of this size.
This July’s work party will focus on fire prevention and preparedness and adding a fresh coat of paint the retreat cabins. We need hearty souls, not shy about pitching in with physical tasks, that are open to training on and using tools such as weed whackers, leaf blowers, and pole saws. There are also less physical tasks appropriate for different skills and abilities. All are welcome!
The work will start at 10:00am on July 25, stop for a vegetarian lunch at noon provided by SCOL, then resume for a second work session in the afternoon from 2:00 – 4:00. As always, lodging is free, and you are welcome to come on Friday and stay through Sunday. Cabins are first-come-first-choice. We will not have a cook, so plan to bring your own food other than Saturday lunch. It is a good idea to also bring work gloves, sturdy shoes or boots, a rain jacket, a good H2O container, and a sun hat. If you have your own safety glasses and ear protection, it is recommended, though SCOL also has these on site.
Please email Vicki at to RSVP by July 20.
If you would like to join but do not have transport, let Vicki know in your email and she will put you in touch with other members of the KCC sangha attending who can offer a ride. Likewise, if you plan to join and have additional spots available, please let Vicki know.
Join in the fun, company, and a chance to enjoy our beautiful environment!
