[Downtown Dharma Listserve] This Sunday with Downtown Dharma: Finding Freedom from Fear

Greetings Dear Community,

First, thank you for all the warm wishes for recovery from my bike accident. These were well-received and meant a lot to me. I have far to go but I'm doing very well, even well enough to teach this Sunday at Yoga District! You might recall that I had planned to offer some reflections on fear and, as it turned out, the accident has given me an excellent opportunity to practice with fear. So here's that same framing from a month ago:

We know we're in the grip of explicit fear when we feel its characteristic tightening of our chest or when it shakes our knees and widens our eyes. Yet implicit fear, nearly undetectable as such, can pervade our lives, distorting perception, constraining the heart, and limiting our sense of possibility. 

This Sunday, we'll explore how the dharma can support us in meeting fear and changing the inner balance of power.   

We will gather this evening from 7:00-8:30 PM both in person at the Yoga District studio at 1910 14th St. NW and online. Details are at the bottom of this email. If you plan to join in person, please read on as both Yoga District and IMCW have changed their COVID-related requirements. 

I hope to see you there!

Kristin

Attending In Person

Summary: all in-person attendees should be fully vaccinated, masks will be optional, arrive early!

Details:

• IMCW is reworking their COVID-policy and it will be finalized next week. Per the draft policy, which we will use this Sunday, neither masks nor proof of vaccination are required but IMCW requests that all those attending Sangha in person are fully vaccinated against COVID19. 
• Yoga District no longer requires advanced registration. 
• Please endeavour to come 10 minutes early, around 6:50, to get settled. As we staff these events with volunteers from the Sangha, there will be no one at the desk to admit latecomers. The doors will be closed and locked at 7:10. 
• Please note that the class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs. There are rugs, bolsters, and folding chairs for seating.
