[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday: Insight Dialogue & the Power of Pause

Hi friends,

As you read this, in the midst of a Friday, is it possible you can pause for just a moment? Can you look down or away from the screen, and take one mindful breath? Getting curious about what's here, in this body and heart, just now?

We always have the opportunity to pause and return to presence like this. But it can be oddly difficult to remember to do something as "simple" as pausing. Especially in conversation, where ingrained habits of mind and speech often carry us far away from our intentions.

This Sunday at 7pm, we'll use Insight Dialogue to explore the power of a pause. After silent practice, we'll break into pairs for relational meditation, bringing unusual awareness to speaking and listening. Pausing frequently. Sustaining embodied presence. This is deceptively powerful practice.

I hope to see you there—online or in person!

With love,
Vince
