Dear Sangha,
This Sunday evening, I will be facilitating sangha. After a guided meditation, I will offer some reflections on the
practice of generosity as a paramita, or mind-training that can move us out of suffering and separation and into connection, freedom and ease.

I look forward to being with you.

And in addition to the drop-in Monday night meditation class I teach at Seekers Church in Takoma Park Tri IMCW, below are two upcoming events I am offering:
*Teaching from the Heart:
<https://imcw.org/Calendar/EventId/2008/e/daylong-teaching-from-the-heart-28-oct-2017>
A Day of Mindfulness for Educators
<https://imcw.org/Calendar/EventId/2008/e/daylong-teaching-from-the-heart-28-oct-2017>
*October 28, 2017, 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM*
at Seekers Church, (276 Carroll Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20012)
In this daylong for educators we will learn and practice tools for taking
good care of ourselves, so that we can be truly present for those we teach,
and bring the best of ourselves into the classroom. We will slow down and
come home to our body and breath by practicing mindful sitting, walking and
eating silently together, as well as deep relaxation, a mindfulness talk,
and group discussion. We will possibly use the tools of
InterPlay—improvisational movement and storytelling—to access the wisdom of
the body, and touch our inherent grace and ease.
*Whether you are a teacher, school counselor, administrator, or simply have
an interest in mindfulness in education—all are welcome.*

Retreat for Activists (November 3-5, 2017) -- 1 hour from DC in
Maryland*
The work of social justice activists and community organizers is
challenging and often leads to burnout. Through diverse means, we struggle
to right the wrongs of unjust systems, and often forget to take care of
ourselves.
The path of mindfulness helps us cultivate clarity, understanding and
compassion. We bring integrity, calm and peace as we strive for balance
inside and outside of ourselves.
Co-facilitated with Marisela Gomez.
