Report from Gomde

On April 23, 2022 we held our next event at Gomde California Buddhist Center in South Leggett. It was a beautiful day after rain. In the morning we held a discussion of forest health and all the work that needs to be done. In the afternoon we had a fascinating workshop on Cultivating Mushrooms led by Levon Derr of Fungaia Farm. Thank you to our hosts at Gomde and everyone who came. Thank you to Sarah Reith for her report on KZYX.
