Announcing a New Deer Park Website and Updated Look & Feel

Dear Beloved Community,

It is with great joy that we share with you the dawn of a new Deer Park online experience. Over the past seven months we have been working with Cosmic — a Santa Cruz, CA-based creative agency that specializes in social impact organizations. Together we have updated the look and feel, the ease of use, and the messaging on the Deer Park website. To the joy of all participants, the bell was invited to begin and close each of our collaborative meetings. 

Inspired by the idea of open doors and pathways to Thay’s teachings, the site has been transformed into a portal through which people around the world can enter into our online expression of Thay’s beloved community.

Once through the portal, there are many pathways to take to deepen your mindfulness practice, explore writings, podcasts, videos, and collections of mixed media on specific topics. The site will guide you in planning to visit Deer Park, learning about and registering for events, finding a mindfulness community near you, and much more. 

In deciding to create a new website, one of our goals was to provide our dear friends in the Deer Park community with a place online where you could come when you're unable to visit the monastery. Another goal was to make the site feel like an extension of Deer Park, so that when you visit the site, you feel connected to the monastery and the community.

We believe that the new site and visual expression of Deer Park truly conveys the warm and welcoming place that is central to our community. We would love to hear about your experiences visiting the site. Please visit the site and contact us to let us know your thoughts and feelings about our updated online home.

In peace and kindness,

Your Brothers and Sisters at Deer Park Monastery
