Hi friends-- happy end-of-memorial-day weekend!  Just a brief note with some events coming up this week at the Lamont Dharma House in Mt. P...

Hugh will kick off his monthly discussion and practice series on maintaining equanimity in the midst of the political campaigns.  We hope you can join!  And we're also starting a new book club and discussion group on Death.  See below for more details on both.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to email.

warmest best wishes,

Hugh Byrne this Thursday @ Lamont Dharma... 

"Mindful Politics: Engaging Wisely and Compassionately in Challenging Times"
A Conversation and Meditation Series with IMCW Guiding Teacher Hugh Byrne
Beginning Thursday, June 2, 7:30-9:00 pm


How do we engage wisely and kindly with the challenging emotions, mind states, views, and opinions churned up in the current political and electoral environment?  
 

Join IMCW guiding teacher Hugh Byrne  from June to November at the Lamont Dharma House for a monthly conversation series that will aim to help us cultivate equanimity and wise engagement in the lead up to the general elections. 
 

This meditation and discussion series will meet monthly beginning on Thursday, June 2, with Sundays adjacent to the IMCW All Souls sit after that.  For further details on the series and schedule, check out our website for more info.


Join Our New Reading and Discussion Group on Death

What different approaches do human beings take to comprehend death?
Does death give life meaning, or make life meaningless?
How can we face the reality of death in our own lives?

These are difficult questions that we often avoid. The folks at the Lamont Dharma House are forming a small reading and discussion group to contemplate these questions in a direct, sustained way through reading, discussion, and spiritual practice– and we welcome others from the community to join.
