SUMMARY:Nectar of the Path Practice
DESCRIPTION:Nectar of the Path Practice    \nSundays 8 – 8:45 am\nOnline (NOT the BDC zoom link)     \nNectar of the Path practice is hosted by the Tergar Bozeman Group. \nWhat is this practice about? This practice “Nectar of the Path” was written by Mingyur Rinpoche to be practiced by any of his students however experienced they might be. “Nectar” signifies a distillation of something very precious and nourishing. Nectar of the Path is a complete practice encompassing all of the essential aspects of a traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice. In this practice we mix contemplation and meditation\, alternating periods of each and chanting in Tibetan and some visualization. \nIf you are interested in joining this practice group\, please send an email to bozemantergarsmd@gmail.com  and tell us your interest\, how you learned about us\, if you are new to Nectar or have experience with the practice…. Information on the practice\, the practice liturgy and the zoom link will be sent to you.

SUMMARY:Lost Species Day
DESCRIPTION:Lost Species Day\nSunday\, November 30th\n2 PM – 4 PM\nwith Megan Hollingsworth\, MS\n& Marc Bekoff\, PhD\n\n\nWith special attention to genocide and anthropomorphic species extinction\, our practice on Remembrance Day for Lost Species (also known as Lost Species Day)\, November 30th\, will include silent meditation\, Metta practice (guided loving kindness meditation)\, 108 bell rings\, and open sharing. Our 2025 practice is dedicated to Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025) for her devotion to deep peace and the many “hopeful gifts” she offered. In preparation\, please read Megan Hollingsworth’s tribute to Dr. Jane and bring an item to place on the altar in remembrance: She Held Multitudes—A Moment with Dr. Jane Goodall.\n  \n108 bell rings represent the 108 human vexations. Each strike of the bell clears one of these to bring forth joy that remains when we are fully present. Practicing 108 bell rings on November 30th\, the last day of the month\, aligns with the original practice as it is thought to have begun at Zen temples in China before transferring to Japan.\n  \nAbout the facilitators\n.      \n\nMegan Hollingsworth\, MS is a writer with an interdisciplinary education in applied health science and environmental studies\, and is currently a student in the East West Psychology PhD Program at California Institute of Integral Studies. Influenced by her Quaker upbringing and Engaged Buddhism\, Meg initiated the creative spiritual practice Extinction Witness in 2012 to express and support grief associated with anthropogenic species extinction and genocide. She began participating in international Lost Species Day activities in 2014 and has served on the leadership team. Her writing has been published in online journals and print anthologies\, and she is the author of Frog Song. She enjoys playing haiku on purpose.
