Dear friends,
This week, we will meet Monday evening, September 1st, from 7-8:30PM EDT online; Wednesday morning, September 3rd, from 7-8AM EDT in person at our meditation space (3812 Northampton Street NW); and Friday, September 5th, 12-1PM EDT online.
On Monday, Ellen facilitates, and we’ll gather online to discuss the Third Mindfulness Training that focuses on true love. (Full training below.) This is an important, challenging training–and one that likely speaks to all of us in different ways. For me, this training speaks to the importance of recognizing my own needs and how to meet them, bringing respect and honesty to my relationships, and being willing to take steps to protect others from harm when I can.
This training also makes me ask myself if I am willing to honestly speak up to protect others and also to speak up about my own needs. At the same time, the training reminds me of the importance of focusing on and attending to the needs of my partner and my family.
