[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Tomorrow evening: It All Turns on Compassion

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. 

After our community meditation, we'll explore the core concept of compassion. It is difficult to overstate the role of compassion in Buddhist philosophy, teachings, and practices with good reason. Far from mere sentimentality or even the call for empathy, compassion can give us a fundamental approach to wellbeing for ourselves and others, one that can guide us through the most challenging situations.

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

With love and endless blessings,

Kristin

Attending In Person

Class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs. We regret the restriction this places on those with physical disabilities and invite you to join us online.

COVID19 Precautions

We ask everyone to register and submit proof of boosted vaccination ahead of time to avoid delays.  

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.)

  

Monkeypox Precautions

While I confer with our hosts at Yoga District, the following is provisional. They make no mention I will follow up this message if and when I receive an update from them.  

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
