December 19 Day of Mindfulness

December 19: Day of Mindfulness at Riverside Church, Room 8-T

10am-4:30pm

We will celebrate Winter Solstice and Christmas with Thay's dharma talk on "the gift of non-fear" and on "no birth, no death."

And there will be a tea ceremony. Our Tea Ceremony includes a period of silent sharing together of tea and a snack. And then anyone who wants can share a song or play a musical instrument, offer a poem, a dance, etc.

In the Tea Ceremony we enjoy being together: the combination of silence and ceremony with letting go and having fun is quite pleasing.

As always, we will develop our Mindfulness of Breathing and practice sitting and walking meditation.

Those interested in attending the Day can send their RSVP to Nina Teng, at nteng@earthlink.net and also let Nina know if you can help with the tea ceremony.
