Re: [Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Re: Authentic Relating & the Buddha Sunday June 26

Alex,

     My calendar says that Sunday is June 29th, not June 26th, which is Thursday.

Hope that corrects the confusion.

*Warm* greetings Downtown Dharma Community(☀️!!),

This Sunday June 26 I'll be guiding our lovely community through a mashup of the ancient wisdom of Buddhism with the modern practice of Authentic Relating. I doubt this remix will land on a Spotify playlist anytime soon, but I think it'll be a good time. 🤷 

Authentic Relating is a kind of interpersonal meditation. For those who have joined the monthly Insight Dialogue practice, it's similar but with more secular roots and tends to be a bit more playful/edgy. It's a practice that invites us to show up fully—warts and all—and to experience how deeply we're connected to one another.

This feels a bit vulnerable to admit, but I know far less about Buddhism than many of our IMCW teachers and hope to not pretend to know more than I do. But I've found so much joy in both Buddhist teachers and experiencing and facilitating authentic relating practice I can't wait to share! 

Be well,

Alex
