Dear Friends, 

This Sunday evening, August 14, our dear friend, founder of Opening Heart Mindfulness Community, and dharma teacher in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hahn, Annie Mahon, will share a dharma talk at the WMC.

Our evening will begin at 6:30pm EDT with meditation followed by Annie’s talk with time for question and answer after. Here’s a brief description:

“Annie will share her experience in receiving the dharma lamp at Plum Village, what that means, and also an insight she received from the ceremony itself. This insight involved a deeper understanding about the stories we carry and how they can limit our aspirations to be of service. We can examine together the way that our inner/habitual stories (our thoughts and mental formations) may limit our options and cause harm when they tell us we are in a situation of real danger when we are in fact perfectly safe. And we can consider how our own practice of calm presence can support others in seeing through their stories as well.”

If you would like to join us online, please write to wmcsangha@gmail.com and we will send you details.

We look forward to seeing you this Sunday for this special evening of practice.

Warm smiles,

WMC Practice Council
