[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday - Assume the Throne

Dear sangha,

Wishing you well as can be amidst everything that's happening in the world. We were made for these times, and meditation was made to support us in staying present and steady with whatever is happening. 

Thankfully, we'll all get a little joy infusion as the most wonderful time of the year is just up ahead. No, I don't mean Santa and reindeer, but World Toilet Day! That's right, the UN declared that every Nov 19 should be a day to celebrate the humble loo, and all it does to protect human health, ecosystems, and more. But toilets, and what goes down them, also offers us insight into how we might mindfully relate to all the crap in our lives. This Sunday, we'll assume the throne, study the Four Noble Poops, and stop flushing and forgetting in order to compost that 💩 and convert it into usable nutrients. 

 

Join us…

• In-person: Sunday, Sept 21 from 7pm to 8:30pm @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early and register in advance here; it's the last class listed for Sunday under the name, "FREE (14th St.) Insight Meditation @ 1910 14th St"
• Online via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/466237117?pwd=cGxHaTJlTVhBdldVSk8weDZuSW5udz09

Thanks so much. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Shawn
