This Sunday: Paul LaVigne
Sunday, November 16
10:00am - 12:00pm
Offered In-Person & Online via Zoom
Please join us as teacher trainee Paul LaVigne takes the teacher's seat this Sunday, November 16 to share a reflection on the third foundation of mindfulness: Emotions, Moods, and Mind states:
As we endeavor to understand the experience of Dukkha, one key element is to practice mindfulness of emotions. Shining a light on how we not only experience emotions, but understand how they drive our intentions and actions, this investigation helps us untangle our minds, and give space to this utterly powerful force within us.
Community Potluck
Sunday, November 16 | 12pm – 2pm
All are welcome to join a community meal after our Sunday program. Bring a dish to share and enjoy food, conversation, and connection with fellow Sangha members. No registration necessary, see you there!
Join resident teacher Douglas Pullin for a nourishing daylong retreat exploring vedana—the feeling tone that accompanies each moment. Through mindful awareness, we’ll learn to meet experience with ease and discover the peace of a receptive heart. The day includes guided and silent meditation, a Dharma talk, and reflection, supported by our shared community. All are welcome.
