[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Tomorrow Evening at Downtown Dharma: Beyond Fixing (with important instructions for in-person attendees)

Greetings Dear Community,

We will meet this Sunday, August 28 from 7-8:30pm at Yoga District at 1910 14th St. NW. You can also join via Zoom. Details for attending in person and online are below. 

Please note: As we manage not one but two community health challenges, there are additional instructions for in-person attendees below. I hope this doesn't deter anyone who is planning to join us at Yoga District.

Topic: Tomorrow evening, after our community sit, we'll explore the subtle and not-so-subtle pressure we might experience to become, to be all we can be. This is suffering, the ever-present signals that convince us we need to be better, less of this and more of that, in order to be okay. What is happening here, and how might the path of wisdom and compassion support us in freeing ourselves from these particularly painful delusions? The alternative includes but goes so much farther than mere self-acceptance.

I look forward to practicing with you at Yoga District or online.

With love and endless blessings,

Kristin

Attending In Person

**New ** Monkeypox Precautions: 

As research into community transmission of the monkeypox virus continues, our generous hosts at Yoga District are implementing additional protocols out of an abundance of caution. Specifically, they ask that all attendees to events at their facilities, including this one, to refrain from direct contact with their equipment, including their cushions and blankets. Therefore, 

• If you have your own cushion, we encourage you to bring it, especially if transport is practical. 
• You can instead bring a small blanket to sit on, or perhaps use the one you bring to handle and position a Yoga District cushion. 
• If you are experiencing any skin issues (lesions, open sores, etc.), please be especially careful in this regard.

Ongoing COVID-19 Precautions:

While the B1A variant continues to pose risk to vulnerable members of our community, in-person attendees need to do the following:

a) Register through the Yoga District sign-up link -- scroll way to the bottom for (14th street) Sunday 7pm.

b) Submit proof of boosted vaccination to yogadc@yogadistrict.com or present it in person at the studio.

c) Wear a mask.

d) Arrive 10 minutes early (6:50 pm) to check-in. (Since we staff these events ourselves, the doors will be locked at 7:10 pm and unfortunately, there will be no one at the desk to admit latecomers.)

 

We ask everyone to register and submit proof of boosted vaccination ahead of time to avoid delays. Class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs.
