[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday: The art of opening

Michele and Ben asked me to share this note about Sunday's gathering at Yoga District. I hope to see you then!

Hi Dharma Friends,

Ben Lasso and Michele Bledsoe will co-facilitate Insight Dialogue this Sunday from 7-8:30pm at Downtown Dharma.  

No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and kindness.

Together, we'll explore the first three Insight Dialogue guidelines—Pause, Relax, and Open—and how the inner practices of Pause and Relax can naturally lead into the relational practice of Open.

We'll begin by cultivating the inner practices of pausing and relaxing, then gradually expand our awareness outward—first to our surroundings, and then to one another.  Moving slowly and gently, we'll notice, moment by moment, whatever arises.   We'll practice in pairs, allowing mindfulness to extend into the shared field of awareness and connection.

We'd love to share this time of practice with you!

Warmly,
Ben & Michele
