(Quote by Jeffrey McDaniel)
If you feel a little “off” this week, consider:
1) it’s Christmas week
2) many of you just finished finals
3) it will be a full moon for Christmas
4) it’s Winter Solstice
Join us tonight for a Chakra Balancing practice to celebrate life at “full tilt.” We meet at 6:30pm at River Oaks Square Arts Center. We will have tea! It’s free as always.
You can send the $40 registration via PayPal to info@cenlameditation.org, or download the Printable Registration Form and mail it in with payment. Space is limited. If you are interested in providing a vegetarian dish to share for lunch, please email us for availability.
Ease into finals week and the holidays with us this evening, December 8, as we commemorate the traditional day in 596 BC that Siddartha Gautama experienced enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree by gathering for a brief Loving-Kindness meditation to foster mettā – goodwill, friendliness, and compassion. This will be followed by a short celebration with hot tea and sweets. You are invited to join us at River Oaks Square Arts Center at 6:30pm on the 2nd floor. As always, this is a free event, and no meditation experience is necessary.
We were honored to participate in a Community Candlelight Vigil for Paris downtown at Tamp & Grind this evening with members of all faiths and none coming together in unity and hope. We shared in Loving Kindness meditation for all beings everywhere.
