[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Dharma at GWU tomorrow and in NEXT

Hello dharma friends,

Wishing you so well in this skyward-looking day. GWU, where I'm currently an MFA student, is offering a free screening of "The Mountain Path," a film about pursuing study with a Zen master, and a conversation with the director. Tomorrow, April 9, 4:30-7:30pm. Maybe of interest to folks. Info here

And! If you're free Thurs, April 25, join me at NEXT Fest, the Corcoran School of the Art's end-of-year show (info / tix here). There'll be free food, performances, and I'd love to show you around my "thesis" piece, "Tied Together." Inspired partly by the Buddhist concept of Indra's Net (which I learned about thanks to one of Mark Stone's Sunday talks), I enjoined the Corcoran community to donate shirts and transform them into a hammock, allowing us to rest in the strength of our interconnection. There's also a communal metta practice, and video portraits that acquaint us with important community members who often go unseen or unrecognized. The piece and the broader NEXT show are open to the public April 17 - May 16; info here.

Thanks so much! Looking forward to practicing together again soon.

Shawn
