[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Day long meditation at my newly-acquired home

Hello sanga,
To celebrate my acquisition of my very own house, I'm going to hold a day-long meditation this Saturday May 19. (I close on Friday). The address is 734 Kennedy Street, NE in DC. It's about 5 blocks from the Fort Totten Metro station, and is red/green/yellow line accessible.

The idea for this is that before I put all my stuff my new home, I thought that a great opportunity exists to first welcome myself (and others) into the house and get to know it. I don't know what the exact start/end times will be, but I'm thinking about 10 am - 4pm. As for the format, I think we'll do 40-45 minute sits and then some walking meditation to finish off the hour. Repeat. Have lunch. Repeat some more. We can nosh during the periods of moving meditation too!

There is no need for anyone to arrive promptly at the start. People can just come and go during the part of the hour when we're doing moving meditation (the bottom of the hour (from :40-:60), so this day can remain flexible to everyone's schedules. People can show up for as long as they want.

It will be potluck, but no pressure because I'll probably cook plenty of food. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll fill in the details as they come in.
Steve
