invites you to enjoy a
Zoom I/2 Day of Mindfulness
with Dharma Teacher *Lyn Fine Saturday, June 19, 2021 , 10am-1:30pm
“While the Energy of our thoughts, speech and actions are powerful, this energy is infinitely more powerful when we join together with others When we come together as a group,
with a common purpose and commitment to mindful action, we produce an energy of collective concentration far superior to our own individual concentration...This collective energy can lead to collective insight and to a collective awakening.” Thich Nhat Hanh
“Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls. as well as a quantitative change in our lives.” Martin Luther King Jr.
*Lyn Fine’s passion is learning ways to build truly inclusive and loving community.
Born in 1944 and raised in New York City in a Jewish family of German, Russian, and Latvian heritage. Lyn was ordained in 1989 into the Order of Interbeing established by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh,
(Awakening Through Race, Intersectionality and Social Equity), an international sangha in the Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism which is committed to understanding the roots of systemic racism in ourselves, our communities, and our societies, in order to heal and transform the legacy of this suffering into compassion, understanding and love in action.
When Lyn is not offering meditation coaching and retreats, she enjoys being with family, making music with friends, learning languages, walking slowly among the redwood trees, listening to the rain, and innovating programs for Mindful Peacebuilding, a Berkeley-based nonprofit which encourages engaging societal challenges with the energy of mindfulness.
