Dear friends,
This week, we will meet Monday evening, May 5, from 7-8:30PM EDT in person at our meditation space (3812 Northampton Street NW); Wednesday morning, May 7, from 7-8AM EDT online; and Friday, May 9, from 12-1PM EDT in person/online (hybrid).
On Monday, our evening meditation will be facilitated by Annie. Annie shares:
As we face political, mental health, and climate crises, I’ve been trying to figure out how, in each moment of my short life, I might contribute more love, more awakening, and more peace to myself and the world.
Starting with the awareness of non-self, I know that whatever is occurring in the present moment is not personal. I see that this moment is coming from our ancestors, our previous actions, the cosmos, and all causes and conditions. I am not personally responsible for the troubling thoughts inside of me or the chaos happening around me. What shows up in each moment is not really in my control.
And yet, I do have agency in this moment.
