[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday's sangha: Jewelweed Lessons

Good afternoon, sangha! I am so blessed to have the opportunity to sit with you all again this coming Sunday at 7pm Eastern 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 that due to their concerns about monkeypox, Yoga District is now asking attendees to please bring their own props if they can -- more details below. 

I'd like to explore a few themes using the metaphor of jewelweed, a gorgeous plant you'll see blooming around the area if you go walking in Rock Creek Park or any water-based parks (Sligo Creek trail also comes to mind). Metaphors abound: its healing properties, its relationship to poison ivy, the three jewels, impermanence, and the tendencies of an untrained, conditioned mind. 

The Buddha suggested we meditate on the four elements (earth, air, fire, water) in ourselves and see that we are one with nature, not separate. Let's gather and do just that! 

Attending In Person
If you are attending in person, you will 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.

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. 

• 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.

Warmly,

Em
