Re: [Downtown Dharma Listserve] 3/24/18 - March for our Lives - Lives and safety are a priority - Ending gun violence in our schools and communities.

I would be glad to march in silence -- to bring some peace with our activisim.

Also, not sure if others have seen it, but there is this effort to gather children's shoes for a memorial to all those killed in the time since Newtown. They are accepting donations through Sunday at a variety of locations around the DC area.

Would it be OK if I share this thread with other participants in the Year of Engaged Dharma group? I suspect some others might wish to join us for the protest.

Namaste,

David

To David's question, when I joined another meditation group during the women's march the day after Trump's inauguration, we marched in silence.  I don't know if that would suit this group, but it felt just right on that traumatic weekend. I knew there would be a million groups there shouting about their various causes, and I wasn't up for it.  This march is different, but a show of nonviolence in the face of all the guns seems appropriate.  See: Thich Nhat Hanh's peace marches during the Vietnam war.

I'm planning to go as well.

Is there a specifically mindful way to take part in a protest? I wonder if we might identify ourselves as meditators while we are there.
