Encinitas Mindfulness Community

Encinitas Mindfulness Community Led by Diana Shimkus in a beautiful backyard meditation space in Encinitas. All are welcome. Zoom also at: https://zoom.us/j/4909809719

Please join us each Saturday at 7:30-9:00 for guided mindfulness practices and discussion. Encinitas Mindfulness Community was formed in June, 2009 as a way for students from the mindfulness-based stress reduction program (MBSR) to continue to expand and further develop their meditation practice and learning. We began our small group of 12-15 members in an office on 2nd Street in Encinitas. We beg

an to meet weekly on Saturdays. We soon expanded our practice times to include Tuesday morning sittings, and then Thursday evenings. Soon thereafter we began a special Buddhist study group for those interested in expanding their exposure, understanding and practice to include practices and concepts from the Buddhist traditions. Diana has training in the Zen, Vipassana and Tibetan traditions and does not distinguish one over the other as a preferred practice. All traditions have deep teachings and beautiful offerings. EMC Sangha does not represent one tradition, religious belief system or perspective and considers itself a non-denominational meditation group. Many of the practices are drawn from Buddhist traditions, though it is our greatest aspiration to offer teachings and practices that are relevant to the truth, wonder and challenge of our everyday lives, here and now.

As the founding teacher of Encinitas Mindfulness Community I have been "weak" at best at keeping up our page...my commitment for this New Year, is to do a better job of letting our community and friends know what we are doing and when.
We have an upcoming ST. ANDREW'S FOOD PANTRY DONATION OFFERING COMING UP ON TUESDAY, DEC. 17, 2024. PLEASE GO TO: http://www.encinitasmindfulness.org/emc-giving to make a contribution. We will purchase and deliver the food items on Tuesday.

In addition, EMC is currently matching 1:1 each dollar you donate to SHELTER BOX, who is then matching our doubled $$, by 2X more equalling a 4 X donation. PLEASE GO TO THE WEB LINK ABOVE AND DONATE BEFORE GIVING TUESDAY. We will be making our multiplied donation tomorrow.

In November, we donated and matched $$ donations from EMC to WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN, who had a 3 X increased match, so EMC donated a total of $22, 000.00 to help WCK provide essential food, meals, equipment and all that is needed for those who are food-insecure.

On Thursday, December 19, EMC from 6:30-7:30 pm, we will be offering support to FILL-A-Belly at the United Methodist Church in Encinitas. We are wonderfully accorded the "Fill-In" Spot and so get to contribute a few times a month.

Our full service support opportunity providing meals for at least 60 friends in need is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 and Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025 and will include: 4 entrees for 15 people each, drinks, dessert, jackets that we are currently collecting, socks, food service and lots of smiles and blessings all around.

In addition, we will be holding our first MINDFUL ALL-DAY at the beautiful Thunder Dome of Pete Kirchmer in San Marcos on
Saturday, January 11, 2024. Please go to: http://www.encinitasmindfulness.org/retreat-registration to sign up. No better way to start the New Year than with a day of connection, compassion, clear-seeing and peace.

You can also join EMC three times a week for guided meditation practice on Tuesday-7:00 am; Thursday-7:00-7:30 am; and Saturdays in the Encinitas Garden and on Zoom at 7:30-9:00 am.
Please join us any time at: https://zoom.us/j/4909809719

If I haven't overwhelmed you yet...

Know we are a compassionate and committed mindfulness community since 2008, who practice daily to bring compassionate and mindful action to our communities, near and far.

With love and blessings to all,
Diana and EMC
