2pm – Gathering
2.30 Ceremony & 45 minute Mindful Walk
Closing with Sharing/Dedication of Merit

We walk as a pan-Buddhist community:

in Spring, the season of rebirth, and Earth Day;

because we know our well-being is tied to all others, part of the symbiotic web of life and the interconnected true nature of reality;

because we experience change as not only possible, but ever-present, and acknowledge our choices and actions have consequences;

in the spirit of Ahimsa – causing no harm through intention, thought, word, or action;

because we recognize that climate change intersects with racial, social, and economic injustices, we seek to empower those most-effected to lead decision-making and develop fair distribution of resources;

We walk to speak for the political, social, and legislative responses, affirmations, and incentives to make our world as sustainable as possible.

Were you enchanted by Alysa Liu’s gold medal performance and happy fearlessness? Do you connect her story to your mindfulness practice? Do you want to share sips of tea and dance tea drunk with me at Clouds in Water? (Or is it Zen drunk?)

Alysa is coming to perform her sparkly wisdom in St. Paul on May 10! In honor of her magical mindfulness, I'm hosting five tea sessions called "The Alysa Liu Disco Zen Tea Room." You're welcome to drop in at any time. We'll cultivate quiet sips and wild Donna Summer flow. We'll enjoy modest snacks alongside passages from the Tao. We'll look for our own gold medal comeback stories.

“I connect with everything, but I’m not attached to anything.” — Alysa Liu

Candlelight Yoga with Eishō Felicia Sy:

As the week gently comes to a close, you are invited into a quiet, sanctuary of rest and collective care. Candlelight Restorative Yoga for Sleep is a deeply nourishing Sunday evening practice designed to support the body’s natural capacity to settle, restore, and prepare for sleep.

This class is well suited for all bodies and all levels, especially those experiencing stress, fatigue, or difficulty sleeping. Come as you are. Leave rested, grounded, and supported.

White Clouds Yoga with Maja Radovanlija:

White Clouds Old Path yoga is restorative slow flow style that draws from traditional Himalayan yoga, yoga Nidra, Yin yoga, Deep Listening and other relaxation/restorative traditions. We will go through very gentle movements, and relaxation techniques. Each class will have a deep listening component with live music (by me and my musicians friends).

All are welcome: this class is especially designed to accommodate all levels, and meet you where you are!
