Greetings Dear Community,
As is our Sangha's pattern during the extended sheltering-at-home period, we'll meet online this evening from 6:00 to 7:30 pm to meditate together and then consider teachings in the Dharma wisdom tradition.
Whether from personal events, uncertain job-situations, political upheavals, or a rapidly changing climate, many of us are working with compounding difficulties. Our hearts can get so stretched then squeezed then stretched again that at some point they start to shut down or freak out. It's easy to feel overwhelmed. The invitation to pause and be with our experience might seem compelling, but why is it so difficult to actually begin and follow this all the way through? We might love the teachings that promise some form of relief, yet so often in our experience, that promise can go unfulfilled. What is happening here?
In tonight's exporation, we'll explore what can thwart our intention to transform the unwanted and how, with careful attention, we can become our own teacher of liberation.
I hope to see you there.
Thank you for your practice!
Kristin
