Oct 16 Day of Mindfulness is part of Meditate NYC at Judson Memorial Church

Our October 16th Day of Mindfulness Will NOT be at the
Riverside Church (*this month only)***
***
We will all be Co-
Creating This Day of Mindfulness
as our Community Supports *"Meditate NYC"*, October 16th, 12- 4 pm
at the Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Sq South Please see
www.MeditateNYC.org for more information.

We will be welcoming Monks and Nuns from Blue Cliff Monastery who will be
among the many presenters at this event.
There may also be an opportunity for outdoor walking meditation in
Wahington Square Park with our monastic brothers and sisters.
Please bring a bag veggie lunch with something extra to share with our
monastic friends.

Mindful service: We need volunteers to sit at a Sangha information table
in shifts. Please let me know your availability from 12-1: 1-2: 2-3:
or 3-4. Also we need 2 volunteers to help at the entrance & be
available for most of the day. If you can volunteer for anyof the above
please respond to this email marjorieM4@juno.com

This will be an opportunity to practice :

Mindful speech and deep listening to those who stop by our table.
Mindful Walking: Either formal walking meditation and/or being aware of
our walking throughout our time at the Judson.
This will help benefit all of us at the event.
Mindful Eating: This may happen with friends in the park.
Mindful Sitting Meditation: There will be many diverse opportunities to
do sitting meditation throughout the day.
Deep Relaxation: We can explore our own way to do this
Mindful Transitions: Maintaining our awareness when going from one
activity to the next.

We can come for the amount of time we are able, but we hope that many of us can enjoy the whole day together at this unique Day of

Mindfulness, as we serve, meditate and just be. Often folks ponder at

the end of a retreat, " This has been so beneficial but how do i maintain this mindful state when i get home? " With the support of Sangha we can practice together , on Oct 16th, crossing the bridge from formal settings to every day life. Oh Yes, please remember to bring your Beginner's Mind!
