[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday: Exploring generosity with Em Morrison

Hello Downtown Dharma Sangha -

This Sunday, regular guest teacher Em Morrison (she/her) will lead us in an exploration of the Buddha's wisdom on how to benefit yourself and others. When she was here in November, we covered ethical conduct, and she'll guide us in exploring generosity this weekend.
"There are three kinds of meritorious actions. Which are the three? The meritorious action consisting (a) in generosity, (b) in ethical action and (c) and meditation." - The Dhammapada

Join us:

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

With care,

Jackie & Volunteer Team

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Re: Submit haiku & artwork for the new Downtown Dharma charity haiku collection!

Hi Jude!

I'm happy to help promote this if you'd like. We can post to our IG as well as share in the discord and in person. If you have something to post on social media, we can do a colab or just share it with the folks that follow the workshop.

Also, if you hadn't considered it yet, Abigail might be amenable to bringing it up at the next haiku group.

Talk soon,

Nate

P.S. I'll get a couple more submitted that I worked on over the winter. I'll stick to ones that pertain to either walking/hiking or Buddhism/meditation. If you'd like some outside of those themes just let me know.

Hello!

Since this week has decided to be spring, summer, fall, and winter all in one--I thought I would put out a call for submissions for our new Downtown Dharma haiku collection! We welcome your seasonally inspired haiku and artwork :)

Last year, Downtown Dharma and friends showcased beautiful haiku and artwork--and raised over $1100 for Capital Area Food Bank with our collection, A Walk With Others. This year, we're doing it again! Inspired by our seasonal haiku events, this collection will again celebrate our community's creativity and raise funds for a local DC-area anti-hunger organization. Anyone connected with Downtown Dharma, IMCW, the DC poetry community, and beyond is welcome to submit.

Please consider submitting one or more haiku by May 22 via this Google form: https://forms.gle/WNWGXh6HKTLuE1pq6

Care to contribute visual art? Please do! You can submit photography, illustrations, and haiga (illustrated haiku) here: https://forms.gle/1UGAQujo6dzn3iXZ7

Submission guidelines and details on printing/distribution/fundraising are available here, but please let me know if you have any questions! Some folks have generously offered to help me co-edit, design, and distribute this collection. If you would like to be involved in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Very best,
Jude

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Follow up from Slow Insight Dialogue Last night! 🦥

Hey all,

It was so great to be with you last night. To take Quentin's challenge to heart, how can we bring insight dialogue and the power of Downtown Dharma into our daily lives? I don't have the answer, but let's live that question together.

The practices I led to connect us to pause and relax/open were: "How are you" but with a 30 second pause before speaking and "What would you like to share with me" with the invitation to take a full breath after each sentence. You might explore this or the dedicated containers of listening and speaking with those around you. It may be awkward, but most things worth doing have their share of awkward. 😀

A few calls to action

Financial support: After leaving my federal job last year, I am a full time facilitator/ writer, and your support matters–a lot! If you enjoyed last night and weren't too sad you missed the Oscars, here's how you can give via Downtown Dharma venmo
Stay in touch

I have a Substack called Slow Mindfulness which is the best way to stay connected
My book Sometimes You Should Be Late - preorder here!
I coordinate a Mindful Sundays community group that meets 9-10am at Elle in Mt Pleasant (new location) WhatsApp group link

And you have my email, reach out & connect with me (and each other).

Thanks for being such a thoughtful and heartful bunch of humans!

Be well,

Alex

[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):
https://partiful.com/e/50J7TN1alVNTlpugUD37?c=rvXnabtN

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
