Meditation, Circling, and Dharma Talk

Hello Northampton! A group of touring monastic practitioners are making their way through Northampton March 7th 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. This gathering offers a supportive space to slow down, connect, and reflect together.

Each event is unique to the city, the venue and their preferences. In Northampton there will be meditation, interpersonal practice, and thoughtful exploration of the relationship between emerging technologies and the spiritual path.

- Guided Meditation — For beginners to learn how to meditate and advanced practitioners to deepen their practice.

• Teaching Wisdom and Compassion to the Mind That Is Making AI — In this talk, we will discuss how we can choose a future where the mind shaping AI is reverent, honorable, loving, and wise.

- Circling — A practice of present-moment meditation and authentic communication with other humans.

Mobile Monastery Events are offered by donation, inviting participants to explore dāna, the Buddhist practice of generosity.

Looking forward to sharing this meaningful evening together!
