[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] CML Community Manager Job Description & Application

Hi friends,

FYI: the Center for Mindful Living is currently hiring for a part-time Community Manager. Please find the job description and application link attached.

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves the dharma, is highly organized, and has a passion for spiritual community. It's a fully remote role (12-14 hours per week).

CML, like Downtown Dharma, is part of IMCW (the Insight Meditation Community of Washington). They heartily encourage interested members of our sangha to apply!

Warmly,

Vince

New at the Center

We are excited to share our new Vision for CML 3.0!

Since late 2023, we've been building a new, sustainable CML vision focusing on community growth, deepening dharma practice, expanding teacher- and sangha-led classes and offerings, and streamlining the organization.

In the intervening months, we have, in brief:

Created a Working Group made up of teachers Hugh Byrne, Regina Flanigan, and Catherine Flanagan; and community members Geralyn Lutty, Shazzie Bauer, and Jo Cooper. Hugh and Regina have generously agreed to be our Guiding Teachers.
Worked with organizational development expert and long-time CML friend Mike DuVall on governance design and key formative decisions.
Defined a healthy new relationship with our parent organization IMCW, that benefits all in our new phase of growth.
Adopted a new dana policy to honor all our teachers, with immense gratitude.

Developed and began to implement a carefully considered budget.
Created the new position of a paid p/t Community Manager, a key step for sustainability! The job description will be shared first (soon!) with the community in hopes that a sangha member might be interested.

We believe at the heart of CML are these core values in action:

- Share the Dharma
- Cultivate CML Sangha
- Live the Dharma, live mindfully

Also, as everyone knows, Shazzie has been at the heart of CML, acting out of love for the dharma and the sangha as our multi-talented community host, convener, creator, and engine that's sustained and moved us forward. As the work she has done in the past will settle on the shoulders of the new Community Manager, we will always be grateful to you, dear! (She'll still be around. :)

Many exciting new announcements are yet to come! We'll be sharing details of our Community Survey Results, new dana policy and budget, a wonderful new dharma training and mentoring program for teachers—and much more!

With love and Metta,
Hugh, Regina, Catherine, Geralyn, Shazzie, and Jo

Ps—We'll be holding a couple of Zoom gatherings later this summer for those of you interested in learning more about CML 3.0. :)

May we be held in the heart of lovingkindness.
May we be free from inner and outer harm.
May we be well in mind, body, and spirit.
May we live in the light of our true natures and be free.

💛
