Monday, November 11, we will meet online.
Dear Thay, dear friends,
This week, we will meet Monday evening, November 11th, from 7-8:30PM EST online; Wednesday morning, Nov 13th, from 7-8AM EST in person at our meditation space (3812 Northampton Street NW); and Friday, Nov 15th, 12-1PM EST online.
On Monday night, Marie will facilitate, and we will continue with the theme of our last virtual gathering, remembering that paradise is (still) here. Marie shares:
I am writing this on election day; the winds are ablowing, the sea feels turbulent and sometimes, my boat rocks. Other times, it doesn’t. What makes the difference?
When last we met via Zoom, we explored what helps us to remember that paradise is here. Some of us shared that practicing together as a sangha can help us touch paradise both in that moment and later, outside of sangha.
On Monday, we’ll practice deep relaxation together as a sangha, calming our respective boats and strengthening our anchor to Mother Earth, our collective practice, and our maha sangha. Instead of our usual sit-walk-sit meditation, we will listen to a 30-minute guided meditation by Brother Bao Tang and then share our experiences.
I look forward to practicing together.
With a warm bow,
Marie
