MLK JR Day of Mindful Service

Dear friends,
Please join Wake Up DC for an afternoon of mindful volunteering in celebration of the Martin Luther King Jr Day of Service. We will gather at Picnic Pavilion 29 in Rock Creek Park at noon to enjoy an hour of sitting, walking, and tea meditation, as well as sharing about our teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's friendship and collaboration with Martin Luther King Jr. At 1 PM, we will join Rock Creek Conservancy at Piney Branch Mini-Oasis for ~2 hrs of litter clean up.
Please register for the litter clean up here: MLK Day: Litter Cleanup at Piney Branch
From Rock Creek Conservancy:
What to Wear: Please dress appropriately for the work and weather. We recommend wearing sturdy boots or sneakers and long layers, including pants and long sleeves - this ensures safety and reduces likelihood of exposure to nuisances like poison ivy.
What to bring: We recommend bringing water, and snacks if desired. Tools and supplies will be provided. Please bring your own gloves if you have them.
Weather/Cancellation Policy: All participants will be notified via email at least 12 hours before the event start time if an event is canceled due to inclement weather. If you do not hear from us you should assume the event will occur as scheduled.
Please do NOT attend this event if you are or have been experiencing symptoms of illness.
