[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

[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday Evening - The Potency of Proximity
Mindfulness is a miracle.
Zen master Thích Nhất Hạnh characterized our core practice as nothing short of a "miracle" to clarify the surprising power of simply noticing what is happening right now with non-judgmental awareness.
Zen master Thích Nhất Hạnh characterized our core practice as nothing short of a "miracle" to clarify the surprising power of simply noticing what is happening right now with non-judgmental awareness.
One way to tune further into this power, to refine our skill, is to ask, "How close? When we are triggered and come too close to our immediate experience, we can get captured or even overwhelmed. Yet when we are numbed out or seeking escape, so much can be gained by just coming a little bit closer.
What wisdom and guidance might we discover by finding the most helpful distance? How might this illuminate what is underway not just within ourselves, but with one another, our communities, and this aching world? This Sunday, we'll explore a refined form of mindfulness by practicing with proximity.
