See you soon! Garrison Grounds at Citadel Hill, today until 3pm!

Happy Harvest of Peace week! This is a reminder about our kite-flying gathering on Saturday. The forecast says it will be sunny and 21 degrees, so it will be nice to be outdoors. We will be at the Garrison Grounds at Citadel Hill between 12:30 pm and 3:00 pm on Saturday, September 26. It would be wonderful to see you there in person! and not as a face in a little square on a computer screen. Bring a kite. Bring your children. Bring lunch or a snack. Bring a chair or ...blanket to sit on. Or just bring yourself and enjoy watching your friends fly kites. With tuppence for paper and strings, You can have your own set of wings. With your feet on the ground You’re a bird in flight, With your fist holding tight To the string of your kite. (from Mary Poppins)

Please note: our administrative offices are closed today. #NSStorm #hurricaneTeddy

Sunspot Newsletter September 19-27 https://mailchi.mp/shambhala/hsc-sunspot-newsletter Learning to Meditate... Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month, starting September 23, 7-8:00 pm on Zoom By meditation here we mean something very basic and simple that is not tied to any one culture. We are talking about a very basic act: sitting on the ground, assuming a good posture, and developing a sense of our spot, our place on this earth. This is the means of rediscovering ourselves and our basic goodness, the means to tune ourselves in to genuine reality, without any expectations or preconceptions. Chögyam Trungpa, Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
