[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Finding Awe at the National Gallery of Art—May 2

Dear friends,

I've attended several Finding Awe workshops at the National Gallery over the past year and keep going back. Each one has drawn me into deep engagement with a single work of art I might otherwise have walked right past. Quiet looking, mindful conversation, and playful exercises make the experience both meditative and connecting. They feel very aligned with what we're building together as a sangha.

Thanks to the NGA, we now have a special Finding Awe workshop reserved for friends of Downtown Dharma on Saturday, May 2, 10:30 am-12:00 pm, led by a Senior Educator at the museum.

Together we'll spend 90 minutes with a single Georgia O'Keeffe painting—lingering with it rather than moving on. We'll explore where artists have found awe, and reflect on how we cultivate it in our own lives.

If you'd like to join, please register here (via Partiful):

The museum requires at least 20 participants, and space is capped at 30, so sooner is better. You're welcome to invite a partner or friend.

Full details are on the Partiful page. For anyone who'd like to continue the conversation, some of us are likely to grab lunch afterward at the Cascade Café.

It would be lovely to experience this together.

-Vince
