Dear Friends, 

The Opening Heart Engaged Mindfulness Circle, the Chesapeake Earth Holder Community, Elders Climate Action, and the Environmental Voter Project are once again collaborating in a Get Out the Vote postcard writing event in preparation for the upcoming midterm elections.

If this is of interest to you, please join us at Circle Yoga on Wednesday, September 9 from 6:30-8:00 pm.

Here are the details:
Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2026
Time: 6:30 - 8:00 pm
Location: Circle Yoga, 3838 Northampton Street NW, Washington, DC 20015

Finding us: Circle Yoga is located one block west of Connecticut Avenue in Northwest Washington DC, just south of the Chevy Chase Circle. The studio is at the southeast corner of the intersection at 39th and Northampton Streets NW.

Parking: Please give yourself a few extra minutes to find parking. There are plenty of residential streets with free parking in the area. The private parking lots near the studio are for customers of those establishments and not Circle Yoga.

About the Environmental Voter Project (EVP): The EVP is non-partisan. They focus on individuals who self-identify as concerned about the environment but are low-propensity voters, and the aim is to turn them into committed voters. EVP provides the postcards, the messaging, and the postage stamps. All we need is a pen and a willingness to support Mother Earth in this way.

When, as Mindfulness practitioners, we participate in Get Out the Vote efforts, we can offer Thay’s deep understanding to others with the energy we bring to each postcard, letter, or other action. This is a true practice that has the power to increase voter turnout among the environmentally concerned by 1 to 2 percent. Though seemingly small, such a margin can tip the balance in favor of Mother Earth.

With a deep bow of gratitude,
