SUMMARY:Meeting in the Moment
DESCRIPTION:Meeting in the Moment through Music and Dance \nIn this group\, we step into the unknown\, with very little structure and no verbal language\, for an hour and a half. We express ourselves and interact with each other through movement and sound\, allowing ourselves to be guided by our intuition and our sensitivity to the shared experience of the group. Anyone can join us. If you can walk\, you can dance; if you can talk\, you can sing; if you can clap your hands\, you can play a drum. You just need to be willing to step into the unknown and allow yourself to be guided by your experience of the moment. \nFor more information and guidelines\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Volunteer at Metro Caring Foodbank
DESCRIPTION:One of the core values of ZCD is a commitment to kindness and service. “The fruit of our practice is loving-hearted relationships and right action in the world.” \nAs such\, and in alignment ZCD’s affiliation with Zen Peacemakers International\, we regularly support the work at Metro Caring Food Bank by providing a crew of volunteers the third Thursday of every month. You are warmly invited to join our volunteers to assist in the warehouse with unpacking and sorting food\, stocking shelves\, or checking in/checking out customers. No prior training is required. Please use the Register button below to volunteer for this day. \nWe have a number of regular volunteers who know the ropes and the Metro Caring staff also do a good orientation for first-time volunteers. If this is your first time\, ZCD Volunteer Coordinator David Gibson will contact you regarding parking instructions and a volunteer waiver form. We start with a brief meeting in the parking lot at 11:45 am before starting our shift at 12 noon. Our shift ends at 3:30. Please contact David at 720-671-0960 or dgibson@nextgridcollaborative.com with any questions.
