Discussion on Mindful Engagement: Next Sunday at 4:30

scott Drewes <scott.drewes@gmail.com>: Feb 06 06:14PM -0500

Hello Downtown Dharma members,

This past Sunday, Hugh spoke about engaging mindfully with the challenges
presented by the inauguration of President Trump. Some of us feel that
mindful engagement calls for resistance to Trump's agenda, which appears to
be planned to dial back advances towards a more inclusive society that
takes on care for the ecosystem that have been made in many areas.

We plan to meet next Sunday at 4:30 to discuss ways to engage, either
individually or as a community. We are still working on finalizing a
meeting place. Afterwards, we will head over to the Sunday night sit at the
Church of the Holy City

If you are interested, please let me know. I will send out an email with
the location as soon as possible to those who are interested. Please feel
to join us if you come every Sunday or only every so often. All are welcome.

With metta,
Scott

FYI - IMCW members are coordinating public sits every week -- join us
TOMORROW, Wednesday at noon!

Join members of the IMCW sangha as we participate in a long tradition of
public meditation as solidarity, resistance, support, and protest.

We kicked off during the first Wednesday of the Trump Administration and
the 116th Congress by doing a public 30-minute sit outside the Longworth
House Office Building at noon on January 25th.

Em Morrison and Andy Banks are coordinating weekly sits (which could
include walking meditations) for IMCW, Wednesdays at noon, which may expand
to include a weekly Saturday afternoon session as well. This Wednesday at 12
noon we will be at the Longworth House Office Building on Independence
Avenue. Please bring comfortable sitting gear.

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] CALL TO ACTION 6:30AM TOMORROW 2/2 - Greet the Prez

Hi all, Forwarding this for those who feel inspired to greet Trump with reminders of compassion for all beings at the Hilton on Connecticut at 6:30 am tomorrow morning.

Erin

2017-02-01 21:50 GMT-05:00 Alice Goldberg <alicekgold@gmail.com>:

Good evening Young Souls,

We've received a call for action for tomorrow morning from 6:30am-9am from our Quaker faith allies for a reminder to Trump, who is attending a prayer breakfast, of our spiritual relating to our personal reaction to the Muslim ban. We would like to greet him with our faith in practice. Here is the Facebook event with more details. It's bright and early tomorrow morning, so I'm off to bed! Hope to see you at sunrise with beautiful signs with statements about the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and any other inspiring words of wisdom you may have to bestow upon him.

With love,
Alice

~~~~~

Copied and pasted from the google form for the event:
February 2, 2017, 6:30 am - 9:00 am
Meet 6:30 am Thursday in front of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church (1830 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20009). We will walk from there to the Washington Hilton (1919 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20009) by no later than 7:00 am. Please bring signs reflective of our faithful solidarity with immigrants, refugees, and Muslims.
Contact Rev. Dr. Carolyn Davis, alt.carolyn@gmail.com or Michael Wear, Founder, Public Square Strategies, LLC, Michael@PublicSquareStrategies.com.
Witness will take place outside. Please dress accordingly. Signage encouraged. Participants are encouraged to wear attire reflective of their faith tradition.
The recent Executive Orders targeting immigrants and abandoning refugees violate both core American values. They also attack the central values of many of our faith traditions. As people of faith, we prioritize welcoming the stranger and providing hospitality to those in need.
In partnership with religious organizations, churches and religious leaders, we invite both clergy and people of faith to join us outside The Washington Hilton on Thursday morning. We will be standing in solidarity with one another in support of an immigration and refugee policy that is compassionate, just and merciful. We pray that our witness might bring broader awareness to the position of many faithful people on this issue.
