Safe Families For Children

Websitehttps://bloomington.safe-families.org
AddressP.O. Box 3174
Bloomington, IN 47402
Description

 Through Safe Families for Children, a parent can arrange for their child to stay with a screened, trained, and supervised volunteer family while they are in a crisis. Volunteer host families open up their homes to care for the child while the parent is connected with resources to get back on their feet. Loss of housing, hospitalization, unemployment, and lack of family support are among the many reasons parents decide to use Safe Families. The placing parent maintains full custody. We are committed to reuniting families as soon as possible.

Safe Families' objectives are to prevent child abuse and neglect, deflect children from entering the child welfare system, and support and stabilize families. This is accomplished through the extended family-like support of our host families.

Sanshin Zen Community

Websitehttps://www.sanshinji.org
Address1726 South Olive Street
Bloomington, IN 47401
Additional AddressPO Box 1577
Bloomington, IN 47401
Description

Sanshin Zen Community is an authorized Buddhist temple in the Soto Zen tradition. It exists to enable practice in the style of Kosho Uchiyama Roshi: zazen (meditation), deep study of Dogen Zenji’s teachings, and commitment to beneficial action. These three elements--zazen, study and work—are the foundation of Sanshin’s practice vision and calendar of activities.

New practitioners are welcome and orientation is provided. Please see the New to Sanshin? page of our website at https://www.sanshinji.org/new-to-sanshin.html

Sanshin was founded in 1996 by Shohaku Okumura, a Soto Zen priest and respected translator of the thirteenth-century Japanese Zen master, Eihei Dogen Zenji. We're based at Shobozan Sanshinji 正法山 三心寺 in Bloomington, IN, where we offer opportunities for daily practice, weekly dharma talks, sesshin and retreats, and a three-month ango (practice period). Activities are open to anyone with a sincere interest in the practice of Soto Zen. We're largely a lay sangha, with most regular activities happening on weekday and Sunday mornings as well as occasional evenings in order to accommodate lives of work and family.
