Chanting, Interpersonal Meditation, and Potluck with Massage and Tea

Hello Clinton! A group of touring monastic practitioners are making their way through Clinton March 6th for a donation based workshop and offerings extravaganza! This group of facilitators come all the way from the beautiful hills of Vermont at The Monastic Academy where they live and study Buddhist and Native traditions. They travel the nation once a year and share their talents and techniques to people who may not be able to make it all the way to Vermont. It’s called the Mobile Monastery Chautauqua Tour continuing the beautiful Chautauqua tradition of sharing wisdom and talents in a traveling caravan.

Each event is unique to the city, the venue and their preferences. Join us in Ithaca for a potluck with Massage and Tea, followed by chanting, guided meditation, and Circling!

5:30 – 6:30 - Potluck with Massage and Tea
Enjoy a brief FREE bodywork session, first-come first-serve. Make new friends over a cup of tea. Bring something yummy to share if you wish.

6:30pm – 8:00pm - Chanting, Guided Meditation, and Circling
Circling is an interpersonal meditation practice of present-moment awareness and authentic communication with other humans. It develops our ability to notice what is true for us in the moment, express it, and be with others as they do the same. The format is massively open-ended but is rooted in sharing the personal and embodied experience of being here and now. What’s it like to be here, right now? What are you seeing, hearing, or feeling? What stories are you making? Circling makes the claim that by responsibly and sincerely embodying and expressing what is true for us in relationship with others, more clarity, love, and power will come of it.

Join us at: Yoga Shala (7 Kirkland Ave, Clinton, NY 13323) Friday March 6th 5:30-8:00pm

Mobile Monastery Events are offered by donation to give people the opportunity to explore giving resources as a spiritual practice. Dāna is a Buddhist term for the virtue of generosity.

Looking forward to sharing this nourishing evening together!
