Dear friends,
This week, we will meet Monday evening, Aug. 26, from 7-8:30PM EDT in person at our meditation space (3812 Northampton Street NW); Wednesday morning, Aug. 28, from 7-8AM EDT online; and Friday, Aug. 30, from 12-1PM EDT in person.
This Monday, we'll focus on the third mindfulness training. Ellen will facilitate. Ellen writes:
I have found this particular training to be a very challenging one in trying to understand its full breadth. I listened to a 5-minute video from the Plum Village website in which Thay reads the training. He also says that this training is "... about learning to love ourselves, and learning to take care of our bodies."
Thay noted this training is also about "joy." This training may bring up many emotions and memories for some, and we approach this training with compassion, respect, and support. I look forward to hearing whatever thoughts you feel moved to share by this training.
