Jizo Peace Project

(1st Friday of
each month)
Sebastopol Center for the Arts
Cherie Goodwin Lippard of Dharma Heart Zen began this project and has been hosting gatherings since 2025. With the intention of honoring every child lost in Gaza and Israel these last few years, hundreds of handmade Jizos have been created as symbols of compassion, protection and remeberance. Our healing Jizo field is growing as we continue on with this creative and healing practice. You are invited to join in as we connect with each other and Jizo's natural qualities through claywork.

Ancestors’ Ritual
Sunday, October 4 2026

Join us as we honor our ancestors and the turning of the seasons. Together, through shared stories, creative projects, and movement, we will hold grief as a community, while making time to honor the fall season and receive the Dharma as it is revealed through the land.
Jizo Ceremony for Those Who Have Died
Sunday, November 1 2026
Green Gulch Farm
In this afternoon event, people of all walks of life and loss gather to acknowledge and mourn the death of those who have died. We first create handmade offerings in the Japanese Buddhist tradition of Jizo Bodhisattva, and then say goodbye in a ceremony of remembrance and letting go. Our time together ends with a procession to the garden, where we tie paper prayers on the memorial cherry tree with the intention of nurturing the beings who have died and the beings who continue to live.
