The first gathering of our Theravadin Bhikkhuni Sangha in Northern California happened at the San Francisco International Airport on June 11th, 2008. On June 14th we travelled up to the Sonoma Coast for our retreat.

Jill and Ayya Sudhamma walking the land
Ayya Tathaaloka's tent/campsite (on top of the knoll in the center of the saddle, other bhikkhunis campsites are just a little farther down over the knoll)
Ayya Sudhamma mindfully walking through the forest, over the cave, and down to the creek
Learning creek walking
wild white azaleas above the creek
pindapata, almsmeal and Anumodana Dhammakatha at a friend's cabin, our "village"
