[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] MLK Day/Inauguration Day Offerings

Hi Downtown Dharma friends!

Wanted to share a few events happening this week within Center for Mindful Living DC (also affiliated with IMCW).

There'll be a couple meditations/talks for MLK and Inauguration Day happening today. Additionally, there's a cool music/Buddhism event happening on Wednesday that some of y'all may be interested in. Just wanted to share in case any of this sounds interesting or supportive!

Monday 1/20: MLK Day/Inauguration Day Offerings

• 10:30 - 11:45AM : Sharing Circle - Join us for a collaborative Sharing Circle, with contributions from teachers Marina, Regina, Karin, Neil, Michele, and sangha member Terri. This gathering will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s core values of non-harming, unconditional love, and community. It will also offer a space for reflection, dialogue, and a rededication to our own values. We envision this event as a loving refuge, offering support on a day that may bring up a range of emotions for many. Teachers and sangha members are warmly invited to share their voices.

• 7:00 - 8:15 PM MLK Evening Session with Hugh - Hugh Byrne will lead a meditation and give a talk on the transformative power of the bodhisattva path in meeting these challenging times with wisdom, compassion and courage. We will discuss Dr Martin Luther King as a bodhisattva and how Dr. King's vision of the beloved community is a natural expression of the bodhisattva path in society and globally. 

Wednesday 1/22, 7:00 - 8:30 PM 

Modern Mantras with Sarah-Marie Hopf: Attune Yourself to Truth, Love, and Goodness 

Join us for a special evening with Sarah-Marie as she shares about her personal journey, offers a guided meditation, shares her dharma music, and closes with time for Q&A. Through gradually deepening trust in the dharma, Sarah-Marie has been opening to creative flow and being a stand for love. Becoming an unexpected singer-songwriter, Sarah-Marie will share music from her first album "Modern Mantras" which was inspired by songs that came through her spontaneously during a recent monthlong retreat. Join for an evening of inspiration and emergent wisdom on embodying love and possibility in this time between worlds. This event requires registration - please register here to attend and/or receive a recording of this event: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/RyeO_TmLRpyBV1nSEdvaBA
