[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Join us Sunday (April 9) 3:30-5 p.m. (@ Lamont Dharma House) & Update on Year Long Engaged Dharma Program

UPDATE—Year of Engaged Dharma – a program hosted by the Lamont Dharma House

IMCW is organizing a yearlong group to explore and practice bringing Dharma teachings and practices into engagement in the world at this challenging time—when cherished rights and freedoms are under threat and vulnerable individuals and communities under attack.

This is an opportunity for a group of 30 participants to support each other in bringing the "inner" practices of mindfulness, self-compassion, loving-kindness, equanimity, wise speech and action and other teachings and practices into active engagement to help alleviate suffering.

The group will meet monthly sharing experiences and exploring how our spiritual practice can support us in engaging wisely, compassionately, and effectively in the world.

The program will commence in September 2017 (ending September 2018). The postponed date of the yearlong program helps us bring our 'inner' practices more fully into engagement in the world, while working to ensure the program itself is inclusive, diverse, and equitable. Specifically, in the coming months we will engage with teachers of color as an integral part of the program; support members of non-dominant groups to participate; and make the program relevant, accessible, and inclusive.

Registration for the yearlong program opens June 2017. If you applied, you will not have to apply again but simply inform us that you wish to participate in the program and pay the registration fee.

If you have questions, please contact us.

We look forward to seeing you Sunday!
