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!
