[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Sunday Sangha at Potter's House: 2nd Foundation of Mindfulness

Dear Sangha,

 

We will meet on Sunday, February 4, 2018, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm, at the Community Room in the Potter's House (1658 Columbia Rd NW) in Adams Morgan. 

Chairs are available and if you are able to bring your own sitting gear, please do. If you would like to help set up, please arrive five to ten minutes early. Also note that this new meeting space is wheelchair accessible.


We will continue our tour of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness by further exploring the second foundation: Vedana or pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral feeling tones, related to bodily sensations, emotions, social interactions, thoughts, and experiences.

Speaking of unpleasant, I have a vocal cord cyst and can't speak much at this time. Though I will be there on Sunday, the wonderful IMCW teacher, Amy Smith has graciously stepped in and will be leading class.

 

A couple of follow-up items:

1) At the end of 2017, the sangha decided to have peer led classes. These are scheduled for the third Sunday of each month.  If you are interested in leading, we ask that you please email lindanaini@gmail.com and devinmaroney@gmail.com. If we don't have a volunteer two weeks prior to the class, one of the IMCW teachers will lead.

2) We are still planning to finalize a name for the Sangha since we've moved from Dupont Circle. We will be voting on Sunday. If you have a name you would like to put in for voting, please email me. Some of the names that have been suggested so far:
- Downtown Dharma
- AdMo Sangha
- Sunday's Pause
- Sunday Sit @ 6
- Potter's House Sangha
I hope you can join us on Sunday.

Peace and blessings,
Linda
