Members and non-members are invited to join the FCM community in selfless service and work meditation on Saturday morning, December 21. Our focus this day will be Osoji, the Japanese tradition of cleaning before New Year's Eve. The word "Ōsōji" literally translates to "big cleaning" and involves a thorough deep cleaning of the house to welcome the new year with a fresh start; this is considered a way to symbolically remove the dust and negativity of the past year. All are invited to join us for Osoji, which is also a wonderful opportunity to get to know others in the FCM community and to practice generosity by helping to maintain and beautify our Tampa campus. No special skills are required!

We will begin the day together meeting under the pergola located between the Education Building and Great Cloud in preparation for our mindful work, with an orientation by work day leaders. Please wear old clothes, sturdy closed-toe shoes and bring work gloves if you have them. Snacks and water will be provided.

We encourage everyone to experience the richness of practicing together, in-person on our campus. Our safety protocols are based on CDC recommendations. Please familiarize yourself with our FCM Health Protocols.

With metta,

Bill
