SUMMARY:Shattering Attachment (Online event)
DESCRIPTION:A prominent mindfulness teacher once wrote that if he had to distill the Buddha’s entire teaching down to one sentence\, it would be “attach to nothing as ‘me’ or ‘mine.'” Years ago\, a shift in perspective about attachment altered my focus and dramatically increased my progress with this critical element of practice. In this session\, I’ll share the insight that led to that shift and guide a seated meditation based upon it. \nAs usual\, we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nIf you prefer\, you may also follow Mindfulness in Blue Jeans and register for this event (freely or with a no-minimum donation) via Eventbrite here:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/o/mindfulness-in-blue-jeans-19846331611 \nFeel free to share this event publicly\, but please only share this event page and not the actual Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Judge Not?
DESCRIPTION:Ah\, judgment. Such a loaded term in spiritual circles! Can we ever stop judging ourselves and others? And if not\, can we still … y’know … walk the path? In my experience\, the answer is a resounding YES\, and in this session I will share what brought me to that understanding. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nIf you prefer\, you may also follow Mindfulness in Blue Jeans and register for this event (freely or with a no-minimum donation) via Eventbrite here:\n[Mindfulness in Blue Jeans on Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/o/mindfulness-in-blue-jeans-19846331611) \n*** LOCATION ***\nWe’ll be meeting in the Watertown Savings Bank room on the first floor of the Watertown Public Library.

SUMMARY:New Year\, New Karma (Online event)
DESCRIPTION:The concept of karma has gotten a bit twisted across time and space. We won’t have time to delve TOO deeply into this critical pillar of Buddhist teachings\, but we can reframe it to more closely align with its original meaning (which I find to be far more optimistic than our common Westernized interpretation). The new year is always a great time to do so! \nAs usual\, we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nIf you prefer\, you may also follow Mindfulness in Blue Jeans and register for this event (freely or with a no-minimum donation) via Eventbrite here:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/o/mindfulness-in-blue-jeans-19846331611 \nFeel free to share this event publicly\, but please only share this event page and not the actual Zoom link.
