[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday: The Force of Unstoppable Friendliness

Hi dharma friends,

"Loving-kindness" is the most common English translation for the Pali word metta. Yet there are other translations too. At a recent retreat, teacher Anushka Fernandopulle offered a compelling one: "the force of unstoppable friendliness."

I'm filling in for Kristin this Sunday at 7pm, and will offer a peer-led session. You can expect a 25-30 minute silent meditation period, followed by a brief group check-in. I'll then share a few thoughts about the power and possibility of unstoppable friendliness. We'll have ample time together for mindful dialogue in small groups.

As usual, the festivities take place from 7 to 8:30pm at Yoga District (1910 14th St NW, 3rd Floor) and via Zoom. I hope you can join us! Details for attending are below.

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.
