[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Devon & Nico Hase -Special Online Event
Dear Friends on the Dharma Path,
I’m delighted to share that meditation teachers Devon Hase and Nico Hase will be offering an online event through the Center for Mindful Living on Thursday, April 23rd from 7:30–8:30 PM ET.
They’ll be speaking in support of their new book, This Messy, Gorgeous Love: A Buddhist Guide to Lasting Love—a heartfelt exploration of how mindfulness and compassion can deepen and sustain our relationships.
Early reviews of the book have been wonderful - see below.
In this offering, they will explore key themes from their book, including:
• Meeting relationship challenges with presence rather than perfectionism
• Developing meditative skills to hold emotions with awareness
• Communicating through the natural ups and downs of connection
• Getting real without losing connection
• Finding one another again and again
I hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a meaningful and heart-opening evening.
🗓 Date: April 23
🕢 Time: 7:30–8:30 PM ET
📍 Location: Online
Registration is required. The event will be recorded, so if you’re unable to attend live, you’re encouraged to register to receive the recording.
Warmly,
Michele

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Re: Tonight: Insight Dialogue Inspired by the Sangha
Downtown Dharma Friends,
Thank you for the spirited Insight Dialogue session fueled by wisdom from our Sangha. Jackie and I so appreciated the quotes, mantras, and song lyrics offered as inspiration for our practice.
Thank you for the opportunity to share how relational practice has brought insight to our interactions with others. We hope you encounter more opportunities to share what's happening for you authentically, to witness and fully listen to another, and to sense the truth and learning that emerges in the present moment.
We are grateful for the Downtown Dharma community, the friendships it fosters, and the chance to practice with you all this past Sunday.
Have a great week,
Audrey and Jackie

Hello Downtown Dharma Friends!
Jackie and I are excited to be with you all this Sunday for a co-facilitated Insight Dialogue session celebrating the insight within the community. Building on Thigh Naht Hahn’s quote, “The next Buddha will be the Sangha,” we will speak to and practice with inspiration from one another.
We are relational beings, and Insight Dialogue brings special attention to the complexities that accompany being with others. This interpersonal meditation works with the moment-to-moment experience of interacting with one another and brings the dynamic of mediation to our relationships. Tonight we’ll practice this relational dynamic with contemplations that resonate with members of our Sangha.
We have a special request for this session. Before we meet, we invite you to reflect on any quotes, poems, or song lyrics that are resonating for you - or ones that you've created yourself. What is something sparking insight or contemplation for you? Anyone interested will have the opportunity to contribute these quotes, poems, or song lyrics as examples of truth and resonance to the practice this Sunday.
Looking forward to being with you all!
Audrey and Jackie

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] ISO: Weekly Meditation Space for DD Expansion
Hi Downtown Dharma Friends,
As some of you might know, we are exploring the possibility of adding another regular evening to the Downtown Dharma programming. As our community continues to grow, we are looking for a space that can host an evening session, 1–2 times per month, to complement our Sunday gatherings. Since I'll be helping to anchor the new offering as a teacher, we are looking for spaces west of Georgia Ave so that I can get there in 25 minutes or less.
If you have a direct connection to a space or a lead on a hidden gem, we would love your help! Jackie is helping me with this, so please send tips and leads to her. You can contact her at Jackiesuepowell@gmail.com or 540.718.4888.
What we are looking for:
- Availability: Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings from approximately 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM.
- Capacity: A space that can comfortably accommodate at least 40 people.
- Logistics: Relatively quiet environment, easy building access, and low administrative hurdles for recurring scheduling.
- Financials: Ideally, a free or low-cost community-aligned space. The ability to accept dana/donations on-site.
Potential Space Ideas:
- Community & Civic: Residential building common areas or office meeting rooms.
- Spiritual & Educational: Churches, local schools, or university spaces.
- Creative & Movement: Art galleries, dance or movement studios, black-box theaters, etc.
- Local Business: Cafés, restaurants, or businesses with open floor plans
- Environment: Some natural light and dimmable or warm ambient lighting.
- Equipment: Chairs available on-site; a sound system is a plus but not a dealbreaker.
- Visibility: We are happy to be listed on a venue’s public community calendar.
If you have a lead or a personal connection you can introduce me to, please hit reply or reach out to me directly.
Thank you for taking the time to consider the request!
Devin

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Musicality of Being workshop in Rock Creek Park this Saturday
Dear Friends,
I want to extend an invitation for you to join me this Saturday, 10am-1pm, for the Musicality of Being workshop in Rock Creek Park. Now that spring is here, the park is filled with vibrant colors and birdcalls, making this weekend a beautiful opportunity to experience the warmth of community that extends beyond the human world and into nature.
During this workshop, we walk the trails in pairs, exploring dialogue in the present moment (not quite same as, but in the same spirit as, Insight Dialogue), meditating by the creek, and building our awareness of how the connectedness of all things lands in our bodies, minds, hearts and souls.
You can read more about the workshop and register here
Also, feel free to message me if you have any questions.
I'd love to connect with you this weekend in Rock Creek!
Warmly,
Seth
