Dear friends, 

For our first book club in the new year, we'll be reading a few short articles on the topic of veganism and the consumption of animal products. We are expecting a spirited discussion and hope you can make it.

The readings are below:
The meeting will take place at 2360 Adams Mill Road, Unit 306, on Saturday, January 15th. We also might move the book club outside or remotely depending on the situation with COVID.

Please contact Kavya Sekar at kavsekar9@gmail.com if you are planning to attend in person so she can get a headcount and ensure that you have her contact details. 

Blessings, 

Vince and Justin

Dear Downtown Sangha Family,

We look forward to our gathering this Sunday, January 9 at Yoga District Center at 1910 14th Street NW,  3rd Floor, Washington, DC 20009 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM or online via zoom: https://zoom.us/j/466237117?pwd=cGxHaTJlTVhBdldVSk8weDZuSW5udz09.

All three of our regular teachers, Devin, Kristin, and Travis will lead this special gathering to mark the beginning of 2022.  

After our regular meditation period, it's been the sangha's tradition to reflect on the Three Refuges: 

  • The Buddha
  • Dharma
  • Sangha
Afterward, we will have an (in-person)refuge/protection cord ceremony for those who would like to participate. This annual "refuge ceremony" helps affirm and remind us of the beautiful and powerful resources of our practice which leads to individual and collective awakening.

Attending In Person-
If you would like to come in person, you will need to register with the studio and submit proof of vaccination. You will also need to wear a mask. For everyone's safety and for the viability of this offering, these requirements are not negotiable. You can register through the Yoga District scheduling site, and you can submit proof of vaccination to yogadc@yogadistrict.com or present it in person at the studio. We ask everyone to register and submit proof of vaccination ahead of time so that we don't have long delays when we all get together.

We also ask that you try to come 10 minutes early – around 6:50. This will give us time to check folks in and acclimate to what is still a new space and process for most of us. Please note that the class is held on the 3rd floor, up two flights of stairs. There are rugs, bolsters, and folding chairs for seating. Please also note that we will be staffing these events ourselves so there will be no one at the desk to admit latecomers. The doors will be closed and locked at 7:10 and no one will be admitted after that.

Attending Online-

Passcode: 546447
Join by phone: (646) 876 9923 US (New York). 

The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.—Thich Nhat Hanh

We look forward to practicing together and being with you.

With Love,

Travis, Kristin, and Devin
