[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Sunday evening dharma gathering - Jan 22

Dear dharma friends,

Wishing you so well as we welcome this week's end. It is my honor to be facilitating Downtown Dharma this Sunday, 1/22 from 7-8:30pm at Yoga District at 1910 14th St. NW.  You can also join via Zoom. Masks will be OPTIONAL for this session, and are always welcome for those who prefer to wear one. 

Depending on whose metaphor you prefer, the mind is like a wild horse, a flock of sheep, an elephant and monkey (see traditional-style shamatha image by Les Walker below and here), and more. It runs amok! It poops all over! But we can learn to work with it. This week, we'll talk a little about how some Buddhist traditions view taming the mind, and cover a number of practical ways to work with our minds when we get to the cushion - and to our lives.

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) Masks optional for this class.

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.
