Dear Friend,
Next week (Saturday, January 15) we come together for a Day of Mindfulness in the tradition of zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Our teacher for the day is Dharma Teacher, Jack Lawlor.
A few details to ease the way:
- The Day of Mindfulness will be from 9-5.
- The River Garden Yoga Center will host us. It's located at 455 7th Street W, St. Paul, 55102. The address in this email message is a web link which will take you to a map of our location on google maps.
- Parking: in ordinary circumstances, there's plenty of parking on the streets near the Yoga Center. You can park on West 7th Street, and also on the residential side streets nearby. Please pay attention to the posted signs regarding any parking time limitations so that your not required to practice equinamity-while-receiving-a-parking-ticket. If there's an abundance of snow leading to any unusual restrictions, we'll let you know when you arrive, and we'll all figure it out together.
- Please bring a bag lunch. We will not have any kitchen facilities for lunch prep, so don't bring anything which requires a microwave or a refrigerator.
- Please bring a meditation cushion or blanket to sit on. The Yoga Center doesn't have its own cushions, and it's impractical for the Sangha to bring enough over from Heartwood for the 43 people currently registered. We'll do our best to have a few cushions or blankets available, as well as a few chairs.
- The retreat is offered on a donation basis. We'll be accepting donations for Blooming Heart Sangha and for Jack Lawlor.
If you have additional questions, and wish them to be responded to immediately, feel free to send me a message to my personal address at dala0015@gmail.com. If you can wait a few days for a response, and wish to simply ask a question by reply message, that's ok too. I'll check this address a few times over the week.
If you need to talk, don't hesitate to call me on my cell at (612) 743-2860. I'll have this phone with me and turned on from 6:30 am to 9 am the morning of the retreat. If something comes up, call and we'll help.
Cheers,
Hetal Dalal
On behalf of Blooming Heart Sangha and the Sangha Council Day of Mindfulness Committee
