HELLO AND WELCOME TO THIS WEEK’S ONLINE NEWSLETTER!
NEXT SUNDAY ONLINE WORKSHOP
“We will explore the way in which we both participate and are in space. How can this affect our experience of our journey as a resource? We will discover the methods for enjoying our spaciousness as a refuge from eclipsing while not bypassing the raw heart of being.”
Hope you can join us! Register here!

REFLECTION
From our online sangha’s exploration on Sunday morning of the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva Verse 9 Striving For Unchanging Liberation.
You might take a few moments to reflect on this and then really notice and name those moments when they arise in your awareness throughout the day. Savor them!
MINDFUL MOMENT
What do you notice as you do this? What, if anything feels different? You might try it randomly throughout the day whenever you remember, or set a reminder on your phone!
Have a wonderful week!
