[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday 2/12 dharma practice

Dear dharma friends,

Wishing everyone well this sunny Saturday morning. It is my honor to be facilitating Downtown Dharma this Superbowl Sunday, 2/12 from 7-8:30pm at Yoga District at 1910 14th St. NW.  You can also join via Zoom. Masks will be OPTIONAL for this session, and are always welcome for those who prefer to wear one. We'll be done just in time for the halftime show so you can get your meditation, and your Rihanna, too :)

The Five Remembrances
Remember that Buddha guy? This week, we'll remember how the soon-to-be Buddha, prince Siddartha Gautama's journey began by coming into contact with old age, sickness, death and an enlightened yogi. Then we'll explore a practice of the Five Remembrances, in which we're asked to recall the possibility of these states in our own lives. While it may seem depressing in a culture that wishes to hide and deny these truths, it can actually be a powerful antidote that helps us make the most of our lives exactly as they are, and greet life's inevitable pains with greater ease and compassion. 

Attending In Person
If you are attending in person, you will need to do the following:


a) Register through the Yoga District sign-up link -- scroll way to the bottom for (14th street) Sunday 7pm.

b) Submit proof of boosted vaccination to yogadc@yogadistrict.com or present it in person at the studio.

c) Masks optional for this class.

d) Arrive 10 minutes early (6:50 pm) to check-in. (Since we staff these events ourselves, the doors will be locked at 7:10 pm and unfortunately, there will be no one at the desk to admit latecomers.)

 

We ask everyone to register and submit proof of boosted vaccination ahead of time to avoid delays. Class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs.
