[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday with Downtown Dharma: The Potency of Stillness

Greetings Dear Sangha,

After being away for a while, I'm so looking forward to our gathering this Sunday where we'll invite and explore this potent space of stillness. 

While the Zen tradition has given us the gift of "Beginner's Mind," we also have access to what we might call "Ender's Mind." Within every moment, we can turn our attention to the place of stillness that is its own realization. Always and already, even being the mess that we might take ourselves to be, we can touch profound peace and awaken to understandings beyond words. 

As usual, we'll gather at 7 to 8:30pm at Yoga District (1910 14th St NW, 3rd Floor) and via Zoom. We'll start with a 25-30 minute silent meditation period, I'll offer some thoughts on stillness, and then we'll share in mindful dialogue, first in small groups and then as a full sangha.

I hope you can join us! Details for attending are below.

With sincere gratitude,

Kristin
