[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Guest Teacher This Sunday: Em Morrison

Dear friends,

We will gather this Sunday from 7:00-8:30 PM both in person at the Yoga District Studio at 1910 14th St. NW and online. Details for attending in person or signing in online are at the bottom of this email. Please read them if you plan to attend. 

Em Morrison, a fellow IMCW teacher, will be leading the dhamma practice and exploration this Sunday. Her description of the topic is below:

Our topic will be sex, sexuality, and what the dharma teaches us about desire.

To prepare, you might check out this interview with Lama Rod Owens.

Or you might ponder these questions: 

What causes and conditions led to the creation of whatever beliefs you have about sex right now?

Have you ever had permission to mindfully explore the role of the erotic in your practice?

If the dharma had guidance about your sex life, would you want to hear it?

For people who like their dharma with a more academic flavor, #third precept #chanda #rightview (disclaimer: hashtags will not be used in the actual dharma talk)

Attending In Person

If you would like to come in person, you will need to register with the studio and submit proof of vaccination. You will also need to wear a mask. For everyone's safety and for the viability of this offering, these requirements are not negotiable. You can register through the yoga district scheduling site or at the studio and you can submit proof of vaccination to yogadc@yogadistrict.com or present it in-person at the studio. We strongly encourage everyone to register and submit proof of vaxx ahead of time so that we don't have long delays when we all get together.

We also ask that for this first week or two everyone try to come 10-15 minutes early – around 6:45. This will give us some much needed time to re-connect and to acclimate to the new space and new process. Please note that the class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs. Please also note that we will be staffing these events ourselves so there will be no-one at the desk to admit latecomers. The doors will be closed and locked at 7:10 and no one will be admitted after that.
