Hey friends,

This is a good time to start settling into the end of summer with practice. I'll be leading a few periods of sitting meditation from 7pm - 8pm this Thursday, Aug 25, in the downstairs floor of Magnolia United Church of Christ.

"Sitting meditation is very healing. We can just be with whatever is within us, whether it is pain, anger, irritation, joy, love, or peace. We are with whatever is there without being carried away. We let it come, let it stay, then let it go." - TNH, Happiness, p9

Hope to see (or meet) you then and there,

- Noah Glusenkamp

Hey everyone!

We're getting together this Friday at 7pm at Dharma Gate (1910 24th Avenue South) for our monthly practice. We'll sit, do mindful movements and then have a vegan dinner, which will be provided. Plan to wrap up by 9pm.

We will also be meeting earlier at 2pm to attend the May day march for immigrant and worker rights. This is good chance to practice engaged/applied Buddhism together. Reach out to the mailing list for contact info: https://groups.google.com/forum/ #!forum/seattle-wake-up

Hope you can make it to start your weekend off with healthy practice.

Following our retreat at Mountain Lamp this past June two of the peer facilitators wrote articles about the experience for the WakeUp International Website. A version of these articles will be published in the upcoming Mindfulness Bell issue, the journal of practice published by the Plum Village community!
