it looked gorgeous before we massacred it!
on sunday, october 5, we welcomed several new members to a meeting at tricia's lovely pad in park slope for a delicious brunch spread (thanks again to everyone who brought something!) and some guided meditation.
regina led the meditation session, with an awesome dharma talk from tara brach (more info at http://www.imcw.org/tara-brach). it was an amazing morning - thanks ladies for making it out that early, and for sharing the things you love with each other!
we made plans to meet again for a hike - selma suggested some locations accessible via metro north, and we are trying to firm up sunday, november 2 as our hiking date. we will also need to coordinate a meet-up based on the train schedule, and we'll need to organize provisions (you know i'm always thinking about the food angle!).
until next time, we will leave you with the mission statement of the IMCW:
may you be held in the heart of lovingkindness
may you be free from inner and outer harm
may you be well
may you have ease of well being
may your life be of service to all beings
may you come to know great and natural peace
may you awaken and be free
