with Lin Wang Gordon
Saturday, January 28th, 2023 | 11:30am – 2:00pm
Come join the joyous occasion of the Lunar New Year for the AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islanders) community.
Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is commonly celebrated throughout different parts of Asia, typically lasting 15 days. 2023 is the year of the Water Rabbit, starting on January 22nd. If you self-identify as AAPI and celebrate the lunar new year, join us for a sit to set intentions for 2023 and share your family traditions.
We would like to use this occasion to honor ancestry and heritage and explore what this holiday means to each of us.
We will have a sit and group sharing from 11:30 am-1 pm and a vegetarian potluck from 1-2 pm.
Please bring a dish that you would like to share.

Lin Wang Gordon
Lin has studied insight meditation under the guidance of Jonathan Foust, Mark Coleman, and Sebene Selassie in the past decade.
In the last few years, Lin was particularly moved by the power of nature meditation to connect with a deep sense of well-being, love, wonder, resilience, and interconnection with all beings. Lin was inspired to share nature meditation and ecodharma as a doorway for personal transformation as well as a form of environmental activism.
She graduated from Mark Coleman’s Awake in the Wild Nature Meditation Teacher Training in 2017 and has been learning to lead ecodharma retreats from Johann Robbins and David Loy since 2018. She has taught at New York Insight Meditation Center and around the country. She is enrolled in the Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders Program (CDL6). linwanggordon.com
