About this gathering

Coming Home was a day to slow down and come home to ourselves and to our families. The afternoon opened with the bell, meditation and breathing, moved into talk and discussion and a vegetarian dinner, and closed with a music night outdoors under the lights.

  • Hosts: Irene and Wainny
  • Singer: Malvin Tran
  • Piano: Kim Lopez
  • Saxophone: Jamie
  • Guests: Long Kiều and friends

During the music night, Irene read the letter “Bố ơi, con xin lỗi…” (“Dad, I’m sorry…”) from Whispers to the Wind.

Co-hosted with Buddha Meditation Centre Winnipeg.
