MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Middletown Middle Way Sangha, a newly formed Buddhist study and practice group, has begun in Middletown.
People from all Buddhist Traditions are invited to join and participate in sittings and talks.
The proposed structure for the weekly sessions is to first sit for a half hour of silent meditation, followed by a short (15 minutes or so) dharma talk or reading from any Buddhist text.
Buddhist practitioners from many diverse traditions and practices are invited. A voluntary rotation system would be ideal as to the specific talks and/or readings, i.e. during one session, a person may volunteer to provide the talk/reading for the following week’s session.
The group’s vision for a balanced offering of Buddhist practice sees opportunities for inner meditation and transformations, the study of Buddhist teachings and their application as a way for the unfolding of the Budhha, Dharma and Sangha in people’s lives.
These sessions and talks are offered freely to all, experienced, newcomers and those interested in learning about the Buddhadharma with the goal of creating a strong sense of community, thus the word “Sangha” in the name.
The group is meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays at the HUM Cooperative Center, located in the Middletown Plaza near the high school and gas station, 21037 Calistoga St., No. 8.
Chairs are available, but please bring mats/cushions as they are in the process of acquiring mats for people without them.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lake County CAN offers the free concert “Music, Methodists & Friends” at Library Park presented by Lake Circuit Methodists on Friday, Aug. 17 at 6 p.m.
Featured for the concert are two local groups: My Divas, an all women a Capella group who kicked off the Summer of Peace and Wing and a Prayer, the United Christian Parish contemporary band.
Attendees of the concert are encouraged to bring two to four cans of nonperishable food to help restock food pantries around Lake County.
This event will take place simultaneously with A Taste of Lakeport.
“Last year we (the Lake Ministerial Association) intentionally planned the music event be the same day as taste of Lakeport. It added quite a bit to our event, as folks brought their wine and listened,” said Rev. Shannon Kimbell-Auth, of United Christian Parish. “Just great music and pleasant company.”
“Lake County Can was kicked off in the spring of 2012 in Upper Lake and Clearlake to help stock food pantries around the county,” said Pastor Voris Brumfield, Lake Circuit chair. “Bringing people together in an inspiring way to help others is a goal of Lake County Can.”
Brumfield said they have scheduled two events in August, the concert on Aug. 17 at Library Park and the opening night of the Lake County Fair on Aug. 31, where four cans of food will get a person into the fair for free.
“All food gathered will help the needy of our county,” Brumfield said.
