[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Re: Fall Downtown Dharma Retreat

Hello everyone!

We are excited to host this community retreat on Saturday and Sunday of this week. Here's a final reminder to please email the names below if you're planning to attend in person, if you've not done so already. I hope you all have lovely weeks! There's no need to register if you're attending via Zoom. There is no charge at all for the retreat, but perhaps we can discuss an organization we'd like to provide dana to collectively this weekend.

Please find details, including Zoom link, here:


To register to attend in person:
Thanks much,

Luke

Hi everyone,

I'm excited about the peer-led retreat we're hosting November 20th and 21st. Here is a draft schedule! You'll notice a couple of comments in the document because a few details are still being hashed out. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to lead a session! The silly theme is "Learning from Delightful Friends" because of the inspiring depth and variety of topics we came up with 😀. It will be so fun to hear from friends about topics they're interested in! An extra hearty thanks to Nick, Vince, and Harris who have volunteered their homes to host parts of the retreat. 

If you're planning on attending either Friday or Saturday could you please email me and either Nick/Vince for Saturday or Harris for Sunday (cc'd here) so that we know how many chairs to set up. Thanks in advance!



Peace,

Luke

Hi Friends!

Twice over the past...14 months the Downtown Dharma Sangha has organized hybrid in-person & Zoom weekend retreats. I think I'm speaking for at least some folks beyond myself in saying that these have been incredibly insightful and fun. I've volunteered to organize another one this Fall and I'm reaching out to get a headcount but also to gather information on who might be interested in leading a session. These have been entirely group-organized in the past, so I think the idea is for a group of us to volunteer to lead a 60 minute session throughout the weekend. The possibilities are vast. You can prepare a dharma talk about something meaningful for you, we can draw, we can mindfully toss balls around, we can maybe even share lunch or din din! 

If you're interested in participating, could you please fill out the following form and indicate what weekends you're available and if you'd like to host a session? I also included a question about the format you prefer for this retreat (all in person, mixture of Zoom and in person, etc.)

Finally, I would really like some help coordinating this! I  volunteered to coordinate because these have been so fun in the past. But I need help! Once we determine a date the next step will be to build out a schedule of events based on the suggestions people would like to lead. If you'd like to help me please send me an email.


Thank you!
