[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Dharma Reading Group Saturday 5/16 @ 5 pm

Hi everyone,

Every other Saturday at 5pm, a varied collection of folks from the sangha gather on Zoom for friendly discussion of readings/talks that relate to the dharma.

Our next group meeting is this coming Saturday, May 16, at 5pm. If you've been looking to delve deeper into aspects of Buddhist spirituality, are seeking deeper connections with folks from our beautiful sangha, or are simply bored after weeks of sheltering in place, you're warmly invited to join us!

This Saturday we will be exploring the meditation practice of tonglen as presented by Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron. Here's a link to our reading (including a guided meditation) for this discussion. It also includes the Zoom link for the meeting itself.

Hope to see you there!

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Midday Mindfulness Break - 12 to 12:20pm, weekdays in May

Hi friends,

Despite having a regular morning meditation practice, the pandemic threw me for an emotional loop in March (as it did for many of us!). It also gave me a lot more time at home. In response, I thought it'd be a good idea to commit to a 10-minute sit during the work day.

It took some time to make this a habit. But this shorter sit has been really helpful for returning me to awareness, and helping me respond more wisely to inner reactivity.

If you're interested in a bite-sized mindfulness practice in the middle of the day, IMCW's Center for Mindful Living is hosting a 20-minute mindfulness session at 12 noon every weekday this month. It includes:

A few minutes for community introductions
5 minutes of seated stretches (to invite awareness to the body and breath)
10 minutes of guided meditation

We say a collective "good-bye" at 12:20 on the dot -- sending folks to lunch hopefully feeling more connected and mindful for the afternoon. All are welcome, and no experience is necessary.

More information (including Zoom link) is here:

https://living-mindfully.org/calendar

Warmly,

Vince

[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Online This Sunday: Exploring Awakening Together

Greetings Dear Community,

First, I hope this message finds your body healthy and your heart enveloped in kindness.

As is our Sangha's pattern during this sheltering-at-home period, we'll meet online Sunday evening from 6:00 to 7:30 pm to meditate together and then consider a particular aspect of teachings from the Buddhist wisdom tradition. We'll explore how the awakening process, when sufficiently supported, unfolds quite naturally and nourishes us along the way. This conversation will build on Linda and Devin's exploration of the class Four Foundations of Mindfulness over the past two weeks, but no worries if you missed those or if it's your first time joining us.

I hope to see you there. Information on how to join the gathering follows below.

Thank you for your practice.

Kristin
