[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday at Downtown Dharma: Haiku, Creativity, and Dharma

Dear sangha,

This Sunday at 7pm, we'll gather to meditate and relate. I look forward to offering a peer-led session inspired by the Zen haiku masters and how this Buddhism-adjacent artform has evolved around the globe since it began in 1600s Japan. After some mingling and a 25-minute sit, I'll share some haiku (and some haiku history) to discuss how art and creative expression can bring us into the moment and vice versa. Then, we'll open it up to group conversations around the intersection of art, creativity, and dharma in our own lives.

I write, erase, rewrite,
erase again, and then
a poppy blooms

--common translation of Hokushi (d. 1718)

Hope to see you there!

🙏🏻♥️

Jude

In-person: Sunday, 7:00 to 8:30pm @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] 3 offerings in May: posture, psyche, learning & interconnectivity

Dear Friends,

I'm very excited to lead a meditation practice at Downtown Dharma for the first time on Sunday May 24! I will send more details closer to that date, but I can tell you that we will be exploring the intersection of posture, psyche and learning in the development of a meditation practice. My provisional title is Upright Sitting & Beginner's Mind.

In the meanwhile, I'm offering the Musicality of Being workshop twice this month - this Saturday and on Saturday May 23, the day before I'll be at Downtown Dharma. On both dates, we meet for 3 hours (10am-1pm) and walk the trails of Rock Creek Park together, exploring the connection between our inner and outer worlds and tuning into the reality that everything is connected.

If you are curious about my offering at Downtown Dharma, I think you would also love the Musicality of Being and I want to invite you to consider connecting the dots between the two. Learn more about Musicality of Being and register for this Saturday or the 23rd right here.

If you have any questions about any of the events, please feel free to contact me directly.

Warmly,

Seth Dellinger

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Small groups at Downtown Dharma

Hi friends,

At Downtown Dharma, small groups are a way to continue the practice outside of our Sunday night gatherings. They often meet in homes and with others who live nearby, and offer space to meditate together and share reflections on daily life.

We’ve started a shared doc to map the peer-led groups already connected to this community. This is a work in progress, but gives a sense of what’s out there—and will get even better as more small groups are included:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JSuFNci46EGD8z0AgiGH_BCgSjddQhlPhob2emQfts0/edit?usp=sharing

If you’re part of a small group not yet mentioned—or if anything needs updating—please feel free to add or edit a row.

If you’re not currently part of a group, you’re welcome to explore. And if nothing feels like a fit, you might consider gathering a few others and starting something new. Most existing groups began just this way.

With love,
Vince

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Special Invitation: Join Us this September for a Weekend Retreat at Seven Oaks

Greetings Dear Sangha,

Dechen Ellen McSweeney and I will co-teach a weekend retreat at Seven Oaks Retreat Center from Friday, September 18 through Sunday, September 20. While open to the public, we wanted to extend a special invitation to the Downtown Dharma Community.

The theme of the retreat is attending to relationship: with ourselves, one another, and our worlds. Rather than an exclusively silent retreat, we will undertake a mix of practices: silent meditation, dialogue, group sharing, and conversation with the land. Yet Saturday in particular will be held in noble silence as a means of developing relationship with ourselves and the land. Learn more here.

Registration opens May 21. These retreats tend to fill so we encourage you to mark both the retreat dates and the registration date on your calendar.

With appreciation,
Kristin & Ellen
