Many Hearts & Hands

This week’s blog post is dedicated to all of the many hearts & hands that have been an integral part of Empty Mountain’s humble beginnings. From the folks who’ve been following us online and sending encouragement from afar to those who’ve assisted us on the building front, and from our friends who’ve supplied us with usable items to those who’ve donated money, we are incredibly grateful for all of the love, support, and help we’ve been receiving. 

Here is a list of names of those whom we’d especially like to acknowledge and extend our sincere appreciation to:

It was never about us wanting to move into the woods to be reclusive, but to find a place where nature would be an important aspect of our sangha building efforts. When we created this vision over 20-years ago, of what is now the start of Empty Mountain, it was always about wanting to create a place for community to gather. A place for all of us to renew, restore, and rest, in the spirit of togetherness. 

Thank you, thank you, to all those listed above and to all of our friends & family, for being part of this unfolding. We love you so.
