Engaged Mindfulness Monthly Meeting

Engaged Mindfulness Monthly Meeting

Sunday, June 17th at 11:30 AM - 1 PM

Just Be Cause Center 1013 W State St, Ithaca, New York 14850 Engaged Mindfulness Ithaca is on Facebook! Engaged Mindfulness Ithaca is a once a month, community mindfulness group that meets at the Just Be Cause Center on the 3rd Sunday of each month. We will practice various forms of meditation (sitting, walking, contemplation) and learn from the writings of teachers such as Thich Nhat Hanh, Martin Luther King Jr., Pema Chodron, Dorothy Day, Ghandi, Joan Halifax, Joanna Macy and others. The group will be a safe space to discuss our struggles in pursuing the path of compassion within ourselves and out in the world, especially with those we don't understand and even those toward whom we feel resentment and fear.

Special Treat for Our Meditation this Wednesday May 30th

Dear Friends, Join us this week (Wednesday May 30) for deep relaxation and music meditation. Bring a blanket or yoga pad for laying down on the floor, if you like. This meditation can also be enjoyed relaxing in a chair.

As a reminder, we meet weekly at Hospicare (172 East King Road, Ithaca NY) on Wednesday nights (7:30-9:00) for sitting and walking meditation, and tea sharing/dharma discussion. In summer time, we enjoy walking meditation in the gardens in good weather. Please join us when you can.

Cedar Cabin Sangha/Mindfulness Meditation News - March 2018

Sangha Discussion group(s) on Saturday March 10. Five Mindfulness Trainings and Sangha Care-taking. Time: 11am - 3pm (in several parts). Location: 888 Comfort Road in Danby (Pamela Goddard's home) Contact #: 607.273.8678. We are starting another round of focused discussion of the Five Mindfulness Trainings, as practiced in the Plum Village Tradition. Over the next five months we will meet to discuss each of the trainings in detail. On March 10 we will discuss the 1st of the Five Mindfulness Trainings.

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. The Sangha care-taking discussion will begin at 11am, with lunch starting sometime between Noon and 12:30. The Mindfulness Training discussion will likely start between 1 and 1:30 and go until around 3pm. For more info and directions, call the contact # above.

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.

Lastly, in addition to our Wednesday evening group and once a month Saturday afternoon discussions, there are two other practice groups which may be of interest to you. Engaged Mindfulness Ithaca meets once a month, on the 3rd Sunday - most recently at 1pm at "Just Be Cause" near the Ithaca Inlet. This group is open to everyone. A WakeUp! group is starting, for people ages 18-35 held on Saturday morning at the St. Paul's Methodist Church.
