In addition to our regular Sun night sits, this month we have three opportunities to gather together outdoors among the lotuses at Kenilworth Gardens, Saturday afternoons 8/2, 8/16 and 8/31 from 11am-12:30pm. Free, registration required, dana appreciated. 

I'll be leading this Saturday; the session description and registration links are below. Keep scrolling for links to Kristin's session on 8/16 and Mark's session 8/31. Hope to see you there!

Unfolding the Lotus

With Shawn Shafner

Everyone in DC knows that Kenilworth Gardens is the best place to see beautiful lotus blossoms. But did you know that the lotus is revered in Buddhism and many East Asian traditions for representing purity, resilience and enlightenment? Join the Downtown Dharma community and meditation teacher Shawn Shafner for a chance to enjoy sitting peacefully together, walking mindfully through the gardens, learning about the lotus flower's importance in the Buddhist tradition, and discussing its relevance to our own life. No mindfulness experience necessary!
