[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Together this Evening

Hi everyone,

I'll be leading Downtown Dharma this evening.

For the past few months, I've been teaching on each of the aspects of the eightfold path, working backwards. Tonight's topic will be the fifth aspect, Right Livelihood (sometimes translated as Wise Livelihood). 

Right Livelihood becomes the container for our lives and our practice. It encompases our relationship with money, with our needs, and with the needs of those around us. I'm looking forward  to exploring this rich topic with you tonight.

Your presence would be most welcome!

https://www.downtowndharmadc.org/


With love,

Devin

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Meditating at the White House

Dear Friends,

As I mentioned once in a previous message, I did a month of daily meditations at the White House recently. I'm no longer going every day, but I'm still going on Sundays and I'd love to have you join me if you're interested. If you are, just email me and we can coordinate.

To give you more of an idea of what it's all about, here's an article I just published about my experience.

Wishing you all well for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Warmly, 
Seth Dellinger

    Step and Repeat Banners Continue to Redefine Event Visuals and Brand Engagement

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    November 19, 2025

    United States


    The Step and Repeat banner, a distinctive visual element at gatherings worldwide, maintains its prominence as a fundamental tool for event organizers, businesses, and public figures seeking heightened visibility. Originating from the world of celebrity gatherings and photo calls, these branded backdrops have expanded their utility, becoming a staple across a diverse array of events, from professional trade shows to personal celebrations.

    Step and Repeat banner features a repeating pattern of logos, sponsor names, or other brand elements, providing a consistent visual background for photography and media interviews. Its primary design purpose is to establish immediate brand visibility, allowing companies and individuals to maximize exposure through shared images and videos from their events. This repeated visual presence ensures that every photograph taken against the backdrop implicitly carries the event's identity or its sponsors' messages, creating numerous photo opportunities that extend brand promotion far beyond the physical location.

    The versatility of the Step and Repeat banner extends to its construction. These backdrops are available in various materials and stand configurations to meet differing event needs and budgets. Vinyl banners, known for their durability and cost-effectiveness, are a frequent selection, particularly for outdoor use or settings where cleaning is straightforward. While vinyl surfaces can exhibit glare under flash photography, advances in printing technology have introduced matte finishes to reduce this effect. Conversely, fabric banners provide a premium appearance with a soft, non-glare finish, making them highly desirable for high-profile indoor events like Red Carpet Events and gala celebrations. Fabric options are often wrinkle-resistant, portraying a polished visual impact.

    The physical support for these backdrops also presents choices. The banner stand is an integral component, offering portability and ease of assembly. Telescopic stands provide adjustable width and height, accommodating various space requirements and banner sizes. For a more seamless and taut presentation, pop-up banner stands, often utilizing tension fabric displays, create a smooth, wall-like effect, frequently referred to as a Media Wall or Logo Wall. These portable display systems simplify setup and breakdown, an advantage for event event planning teams.

    Effective design remains central to a Step and Repeat banner's effectiveness. Custom design services specialize in arranging logos with appropriate spacing and repetition to ensure each brand mark is clear and unobstructed in photographs. High-quality printing is paramount, necessitating high-resolution graphics, typically vector files, to prevent pixelation when scaled for large format printing. Graphic design professionals guide clients in selecting suitable color modes and ensuring adherence to brand guidelines for a cohesive and professional presentation.

    The application of Step and Repeat banners spans a wide spectrum of events. At Corporate Events and Trade Shows, they act as powerful tools for event marketing, attracting attendees and providing a consistent backdrop for interviews and company announcements. During Press Conferences, the repetition of logos reinforces sponsor recognition for media outlets. At private gatherings such as weddings or parties, personalized photo backdrops featuring monograms or themed graphics enhance the celebratory atmosphere and create memorable picture opportunities. Sponsorships are frequently highlighted on these banners, providing tangible value to contributing organizations through repeated exposure.

    The continued evolution of digital marketing and social media platforms amplifies the value of Step and Repeat banners. Images captured against these backdrops are readily shared across social channels, generating organic reach and amplifying brand messages to broader audiences. This digital footprint extends the life of the event's visual branding, providing enduring returns on investment for advertising efforts.

    Companies specializing in printing services offer a range of custom banners solutions, working with clients to determine the ideal materials, sizes, and stand types for their specific needs. From initial graphic design concepts to final large format printing and delivery, these providers help businesses and individuals translate their branding aspirations into a physical photo backdrop that makes a statement.

    The Step and Repeat banner remains an indispensable asset for effective brand promotion and visual communication at any significant gathering. Its simplicity in concept belies its powerful capacity to elevate an event's profile and deliver sustained brand visibility in an increasingly visual world.


     Apex Display Solutions is a leading provider of high-quality event display products, specializing in custom Step and Repeat bannersMedia Walls, and trade show exhibits. With a focus on superior printing services and custom design, Apex Display Solutions helps clients achieve impactful brand visibility at Corporate EventsTrade Shows, and special occasions.

    [Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Musicality of Being workshop Sat, 11/22 & an idea for the new year

    Dear Downtown Dharma friends, 

    Two things to share - an upcoming workshop and an idea for the new year. All the details are below.

    Grateful to be part of this community.

    Warmly,
    Seth Dellinger

    ---

    You are invited to the next Musicality of Being workshop, this coming Saturday November 22, 10am-1pm in Rock Creek Park.

    The nature immersion involves walking the trails with several different partners and dialoguing about your present moment experience as you move through the park. 

    The feeling of 'musicality' develops as you sense the rhythmic, melodic and harmonic relationships between your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations as you walk and talk and take in the natural surroundings. This practice clarifies what interconnectivity feels like so you can find clearer ground in a constantly changing world. And it's a great way to connect in mindful community!

    Register here (sliding scale registration is available for those that need it - scroll all the way down the page to find that option)

    There will be one more 2025 Musicality of Being workshop after this one, on December 20 (registration available at the same link).

    ---

    I am just about to complete one month of sitting meditations in Lafayette Park in front of the White House. I have been sitting for one hour each day, listening to the sounds of tourists, protestors, birds, sirens, the demolition of the East Wing, my breath, thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations. It has been a very illuminating experience and I will probably write something about it soon.

    Later this week, I'll stop going because I do need a rest, but I imagine doing it again in the new year and have thought how nice it might be if it became a common thing to see people meditating in front of the White House. I personally did not come with any political agenda except to highlight what I see as the vital importance of listening.

    While I haven't planned the next steps yet, I'd love to hear from you if you would be interested in participating in group sits in Lafayette Park next year!

    In the meanwhile, if you're curious what that's like, I encourage you to go give it a try!
