Monday, April 14, we will meet online.
Dear friends,
This week, we will meet Monday evening, April 14th, from 7-8:30PM EDT online; Wednesday morning, April 16th, from 7-8AM EDT in person at our meditation space (3812 Northampton Street NW); and Friday, April 18th, 12-1PM EST online.
On Monday, our meditation evening will be facilitated by mindfulness practitioner, legal activist, and poet, Sunu Chandy.
How can we weave together our deep practice of mindfulness with our hope to engage fully in the world and reduce suffering? Sunu will lead a discussion on this topic of Engaged Mindfulness practice and how to care for the most vulnerable among us. Her life and her work has been a reflection of the truth of our interdependence (Interbeing) for many years.
After our meditation period, Sun will share her understanding of Interbeing and how her work is an offshoot of her practice. She will also read one or two of her amazing poems from her poetry book, My Dear Comrades.
Sunu P. Chandy (she/her) is a meditator and a social justice activist, including through her work as a poet and a civil rights attorney. She is the daughter of immigrants from Kerala, India, and currently lives in DC with her family. Her award-winning collection of poems, My Dear Comrades, was published by Regal House. Sunu is currently a Senior Advisor with Democracy Forward and on the board of the Transgender Law Center. Sunu has been included as one of the Washington Blade’s Queer Women of Washington.
