Friends,

For this Tuesday, Aug. 4 Eastside Insight gathering, we'll explore bringing meditation into the seemingly-mundane instances of daily life.

Cultivating continuity of mindfulness practice is a central part of the spiritual journey. It is just when things are hard, or when we're most distracted, that cultivating mindfulness can be most fruiful. Deeper exploration of this aspect was partly catalyzed by the recent Seattle visit of Bhante Rahula from Mexico, when he said, "I am going to meditate while eating," or "I am going to meditate while showering." We'll explore when this can mean in our practice lives, why it can be helpful.

We’ll be gathering at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Please email for the URL for the evening at stevellen95@comcast.net, or please come in person to the chapel at Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church, 315 3rd Ave S., Kirkland, WA 98033.
