Friends,

Bows to you all, and may the sporadic appearance of sun reflect some awakening of light and freedom in our own hearts.
Eastside Insight will next be sitting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 2, finishing at 9 p.m.

For the next two weeks we’re going to exploring renunciation: for the first week why renunciation isn’t self-denial, but rather shedding that which entangles; and for the second week, how renunciation leads to the letting go of awakening.

If you wish to attend by Zoom, the URL will be  https://tinyurl.com/EIMS-Kirkland-2023 
If you’ll be attending in person, we’ll be sitting in the Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church chapel, in Kirkland. The address is 315 3rd Ave S., Kirkland, WA 98033.

We need a volunteer or two to set up tea and seating for the evening. Here I’ll encourage you to volunteer, to step forward, as part of your practice and your opening to awakening. Right at the core of our attachment is selfing, and simply by freely turning outward to benefit others, we turn from self-cherishing. Several people regularly sign up. For your own benefit, please join them!
Below is the link where you can sign up. Thank you!

If you’re moved to offer dana to Northlake for hosting the sit, or for the teacher, this is kind. We are very grateful to Northlake, for freely offering space to Eastside Insight. Here are two links, and a mailing address:

Bows,
