IWM Benefit with Jon Kabat-ZinnMindfulness, Dharma, and the Healing of Our World
Saturday October 4, 3-5pm ET, followed by a reception
In person/hybrid at Edwards Church of Northampton
The recording will be shared with all who register.
"Taking your seat, both literally and metaphorically, is a non-trivial, embodied assertion of the lawfulness and undeniable actuality of interdependence, and therefore an intrinsically meaningful political act. It is also one that translates into taking a stand for and actually embodying, to whatever degree possible, an orientation of non-harming, compassion, wisdom, and wise action/engagement. It cannot be practiced in isolation, as we are never really alone. We are essentially whole, and at the same time, embedded in larger and larger circles of wholeness and belonging.
You are invited to show up with the full spectrum of your feelings, challenges, and motivation – both in your personal life and in the larger life of our embeddedness in the world – in the service of the possible."
If you'd like to help with setup and cleanup, please email [email protected].
We are grateful to all who donate so generously to support IWM. We now invite you to generously participate in IWM's benefit event with Jon Kabat-Zinn, who is helping us raise funds to support our teachers and their teaching, including:
Our wonderful Guiding Teachers and other members of our longtime local Teachers Council
Our rich array of offerings from visiting teachers as we continue to increase the diversity of our teachers and offerings
Our plans to include more ongoing engagement with new teachers
Your gift will enable IWM:
To supplement teacher dana
To compensate our teachers when they step into administrative roles and/or serve on committees
To support our staff and the infrastructure that allows us to create opportunities to share the Dharma and sustain our center into the future
This event is underwritten by the Linda B. Leon Memorial Fund. Our thanks to them and to Jon Kabat-Zinn for his generosity.
