Nourishing our Practice in Difficult Times as We Celebrate the Solstice in Beloved Community
10-4:30pm
At the Riverside Church, 20-T, 91 Claremont Avenue, NY, NY
Recently the huge wounds around a racial divide in our society have painfully come to the forefront of the collective awareness. More personally for us, our dear Teacher has become gravely ill. In addition to the celebration of the Solstice at this Saturday's Day of Mindfulness, a Dharma talk will be offered in the morning by Dennis Bohn (True Mountain of Peace) on practicing with these difficulties and nourishing ourselves in difficult times. Perhaps we can offer the merit of the day's practice to healing these deep wounds in our country and to Thay's recovery.Schedule of Day:10am-1:00pm: Sitting and Walking Meditation.
