[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] 📖 Interested in reading group next month?

Hi all,

Downtown Dharma typically has a meditation/Buddhist-themed reading group and vegetarian potluck every month. This is a wonderful chance to deepen connections and explore ideas outside the Sunday sits.

Recent topics have included friendship/community, nonviolent communication, and eco-dharma. Future topics could be whatever you want!

For a reading group to happen:
  • Someone needs to volunteer to host a group of ~10 people for a talk and vegetarian potluck, at a location centrally located in DC;
  • and someone (could be the same or a different person) needs to volunteer to facilitate the group.
    • Facilitating involves choosing reading(s) (could be a book, article, video, podcast, etc.) and leading a discussion.
    • For next month, one reading idea we've gotten is Pema Chodron's When Things Fall Apart. Let me know if you'd like to facilitate a discussion of this -- or anything else!
If either of these roles (host or facilitator) sound like something you'd like to do next month, please let me know!

With metta,
Ava
