Planting Day is 3 months away 🌱

We’re getting ready for an incredible day of digging, planting, and giving back on May 30th — and we’d love for you to be part of it!

If you’ve been thinking about joining us or would like to participate in a gardening day for a great cause, now’s the perfect time to get involved. 🌼 All are welcome — whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just want to lend a helping hand.

We plant from morning until we’re done, working together as a community. 💚
Our garden is fully volunteer-run, and every harvest goes directly to local food pantries and soup kitchens to support neighbors in need.

🐾 Aloka the Peace Dog has reached 1 million followers on Facebook!
With hearts full of immense joy and gratitude, we are honored to share a truly remarkable milestone! Last night, at approximately 10:00 PM CST, our beloved Aloka the Peace Dog officially reached 1 million followers on his page!

It feels like a beautiful blessing that this happened on Day 108 - 2/11/2026, the very day we arrived at our final destination in Washington, DC. It turns out Aloka wasn’t just walking toward the capital; he was walking straight into the hearts of a million friends!

We are so grateful to each and every one of you for joining this journey. While the venerable monks provided the wisdom, Aloka provided the wags—and together, you all provided the love and support that made this possible. Thank you for being part of our peaceful community together with Aloka!

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏
