[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Re: Musicality of Being & Awareness Through Movement
Hi Friends,
I hope you are staying cool!
I have two invitations for you:
1) The Musicality of Being workshop returns to Rock Creek Park on Saturday, July 18, 10am-1pm. This community walking meditation includes connecting with partners on the trails for present moment dialogue, connection with Nature and a silent contemplation at the creek. Group check-ins throughout the hike and rotating partner pairings build our collective field. Overall, we get to slow down time and see our lives from a fresh perspective. To learn more and join, look here
2) For those of you who participated in my recent Downtown Dharma class on meditation posture, you might enjoy Awareness Through Movement. This is a unique exploratory somatic practice that helps you discover a clearer relationship with your body, your thinking and your movement through the world. Classes involve lying on the floor and doing small movements with mindful attention that can quickly reorganize the nervous system and your body map. I'm offering a series of small classes this month (I can only fit 3 people!) in NW DC. Check out the schedule here
Warmly,Seth Dellinger

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday, Freedom within Interdependence
Looking closer, the Dharma insists, right alongside contemporary ecology, that nothing exists independently. And yet that same Dharma, and modern psychology too, keeps pointing us toward something that sounds a lot like independence: don't outsource your peace of mind, learn to stand on your own two feet. We even find "abide independently" in the foundational instructions.
So which is it? Entangled, or autonomous? When words like "freedom" and "independence" surround us, it's a good time to explore the Dharma's understanding of both. Tomorrow evening we'll ask what a wise, interdependent freedom looks like in the small, barely noticed moments, and how those moments quietly but powerfully shape the lives we actually live.
I hope you can join us this Sunday, in person or online, as we celebrate interdependence and pursue freedom, together.
In-person: Sunday, 7:00 to 8:30pm @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC (please try to arrive at least 10 min. early)
Online via Zoom: Join here
Yours In Sangha,
Kristin

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Re: Sunday June 28 Equanimity & Time (and come late if you'd like!)
- Subscribe to my Substack Slow Mindfulness 🦥
- Pick up Sometimes You Should Be Late wherever books are sold. If cost is a barrier, email paywhatyoucan@slowmindfulness.com for a pay-what-you-can (dana-based) copy.
- If you know people who might enjoy these conversations, I'd be grateful if you'd share my upcoming book tour with them. It's a bit of a duct-tape operation so every person truly helps!
- Come see me at Politics and Prose on Saturday July 11th at 5pm RSVP
Downtown Dharma Friends,
One thing I love about our community is that we’re bringing the inspiration of Buddhism and community into our messy lives in DC in the year 2026 for all that entails, not living in a remote village as monks (though these days of flyovers, might not be so bad :) ).
For this Sunday, I’ll be guiding us through a practice of bringing equanimity to our relationship with time.
This week we’ll explore how waiting, rushing, and running late connect to the stillness and clarity that meditation promises. And how each of us might meet the moments of our brief lives with a bit more ease and curiosity rather than judgment.
This session happens to coincide with the release of my first book (!!)Sometimes You Should Be Late. I’ll share a few reflections from it but the evening won’t be too centered on it. You can read more about it and my tour at the link.
An experiment with our Downtown Dharma Time
As part of the evening, we’ll experiment with the container itself.
Feel invited to arrive 10+ minutes early to settle in or connect with others. After all, that’s part of why we’re gathering right? So maybe your evening starts at 6:50?
Feel equally welcome to arrive anytime in the first 10 minutes or so after the session “starts” and you’ll be warmly welcomed. Let’s not stress out about destressing.
We’ll also end a little early, leaving space to connect or simply notice how you move into whatever comes next.
In-person: Sunday, 7:00 to 8:30pm (arrive 6:50-7:10ish) @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC
Online via Zoom: Join here
Be well,
Alex
