[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Volunteer!

Hi friends,Seeing those of you who came last week was a moving experience. There is a lot that we communicate through body language, touch, and (probably) some other channels that are outside of my conscious awareness.

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] This Sunday: The Promise of Embodied Presence

Yet for many of us, embodied presence can be elusive!This week, we'll use social meditation to explore this pillar of the path. Taking advantage of the power of community, we'll engage in a pair of interactive practices to connect with the simple, embodied knowing that's possible through the sense...
