Event Description:
We’re so grateful to be able to gather and have fun in person once again, so we’ve been organizing monthly weekend practice days in NYC as a chance to come together and practice in community. For this February NYC practice day, the theme will be Parinirvana Day.
A festival day marking the final passing of the Buddha two-and-a-half millennia ago. An opportunity to contemplate impermanence, rejoice in the example of the Buddha’s life, and reflect on the precious opportunity that our own lives present us.
We will celebrate through meditation, reflection, ritual, and embodiment exercises.
Join us at the Lucid Body House (230 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10016) for a morning of meditation, discussion, ritual, and connecting with community.
This event is OPEN TO ALL—all are welcome.
