Good morning dear friends –
Trees are changing colour, impermanently we experience times of earlier darkness and beautiful big morning moons…. Our practice has so many Dharma doors….
DAY OF MINDFULNESS: On Saturday, October 10, we have the opportunity to gather for a Day of Mindfulness. During difficult times, we can forget to offer thanks for all the fruits of our practice. To live in the world, with our hearts undisturbed by the world, is a great happiness and we will nourish our connection with all beings during the day. Please arrive by 9:45 and remember to bring a bag lunch! We will complete this day at 3:00
PEOPLE OF COLOUR RETREAT, SEATTLE On Friday, Saturday, Sunday October 23, 24, 25th the Mindfulness Community of Puget Sound will host a non-residential retreat with Dr. Larry Ward, a Dharma Teacher ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh and an ordained Christian Minister. The theme of this retreat is “The Alchemy of Grief: Turning Suffering into Light”. The recent and continuing events in the news may have inflamed the generational suffering in our bones. This retreat will explore how Buddhist Psychology and its practices can aid in the process of healing and transforming both our individual and collective suffering into insight and compassion. Participants will experience meditations, Dharma talks and individual/group reflections. For more information: https://dharmagate.wufoo.com/forms/m1ap2lb319l6bvi/
