Spring Fundraiser 2025

Flowers are Blooming, so is Dharma Field

In recent weeks you may have heard about flower seeds, more welcoming 6 a.m. sittings, the return of potlucks and even beanbag lotto. Yes, these and more are coming to Dharma field. We listened to you, and we’re implementing some new things ahead to bring us closer together and bring others closer to us.

We’ve got five Growth Goals to share with you, as well as progress from the Shaping Our Future teams. Of course, we can’t manifest our marvelous future without you and your support. So it is once again the time that we express our gratitude and ask for your generosity by participating in our spring fundraising campaign: Flowers are Blooming, so is Dharma Field.

In your honor, we invite you to join us on Sunday April 27th following the Sunday talk for a special springtime Tea & Treats. Bring your kiddos! We’ve got potting mix and tiny pots on hand for them to plant their own starter seed pots—and plenty of seed options to inspire wonder and creativity.

Dharma Field's Five Growth Goals

Thank you in advance for your gracious contribution. Together, we are blooming! Your donation also ensures that we can continue to make our offerings available to anyone interested in investigating the teachings and practice.
