[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] This Sunday: Concentration, Clarity, and Equanimity in Relational Practice

Hello dear Downtown Dharma friends, 

I'm happy to be joining you once again for practice this Sunday! 

My intention is to offer an evening focused on Concentration, Clarity, and Equanimity in Relational Practice. These three domains are what Shinzen Young calls the core skills of mindfulness. When we carry these skills from our silent practice into interpersonal space, new worlds of learning can open up to us.

I'll lead a guided meditation and give a short talk on this topic. We'll then spend lots of time in guided dyads and triads, including exercises from my lineage of Transformational Connection. The intention is to practice together in a way that is fun, connecting, playful, and insightful. 
  • In-person: Sunday, 7 to 8:30pm @ Yoga District — 1910 14th Street NW, 3rd Floor, Washington, DC (Please arrive 5–10 minutes early so we can begin on time.)
  • Online via Zoom here
Hope to see you there! 
Ellen // Dechen 

PS: For those of you who like to be spontaneous, there's still a bit of room in the retreat Devin Maroney and I are teaching at Seven Oaks next weekend

PPS: I'll share more about this on Sunday, but I'm excited to invite you all to events at The Nectary. The Nectary is a relational monastery, research lab, and pop-up school coming to DC this spring. We have a mini-festival of retreats and gatherings planned, and I'd love to see many of you there.
