Wednesday night meditation continues, 7:30-9:00pm in the
lower room at Hospicare. We have been asked to remind our meditators to enter
through the upstairs/main entrance. This is for the security of the staff and
residents in the care facility. A sangha member will be on "door
duty" from roughly 7:20-7:40 to welcome you. Please do your best to arrive
in that time. If conditions are such that you must arrive later, you may need
to ring the door buzzer and a staff person will buzz you in. *Please do not
knock on the lower door for entrance.* This can be disturbing to staff who may
be working late.
We had our final discussion of "Mindfulness as
Medicine" a little over two weeks ago. Those who have read this book have
found it both interesting and supportive. Our discussion was deep and real. The
sangha care-taking group would like to continue our (more or less) monthly
discussions, with a return to discussion of the Five Mindfulness Trainings. For
discussion of the First Mindfulness Training, we are looking at Saturday
afternoons in late February to mid-March. Those dates are Feb. 24, March 3 or
10. Interest and availability seems to be leaning to Saturday March 10 - but
please let me/us know if you want to join this discussion and if one of the
other Saturdays is better for you. We will go with the date which is best for
most.
The Five Mindfulness Trainings discussion will be
preceded by a Sangha care-taking group meeting and a vegetarian pot-luck lunch.
All those who are interested in caring for our sangha are welcome to join us.
Again, let us know whether Feb. 24, March 3 or March 10 is possible (and which
date best) for you if you are interested in joining us.
